Election Night Results

Election Nights Results (ENR) is a web service bundled with VR Tower, which allows counties to display election returns on the Supervisor’s website.

As ballots are tabulated, the votes counted so far can be quickly displayed, giving citizens and the media immediate access to the most current results. See How Election Results Are Presented on Your Website for details.

Election results can remain on your website indefinitely as a public archive of past contests.

The ENR web service gives you the option to display a county map, color-coded to indicate:

• Precincts reporting results (that is, Completely Reported, Partially Reported, Not Reported, or Not Participating)

• Voter turnout percentages by precinct

• Results of individual races by precinct

To display a map, you must provide VR Systems with files from your GIS system. See Displaying a Precinct Map in Election Night Results for more information.

Or, in ENR, click the Settings icon, and then click Notices.

Here's an overview of the steps you take to post results to your website and update them as results come in:

1. Configure how results will be displayed, using the ENR web service. This step is typically done a couple of weeks before the election. For instructions, see How to Set Up ENR prior to an Election.

2. Modify your website to display the results, using the VR Tower content manager. You can hide the display until election night, if you want. For details, see Display Election Night Results on Your Website.

3. On election night, upload the results from your tabulation system and post them to the website. This is done using the using the ENR web service. For more information, see Post Results on Election Night.

4. If you hid the results prior to election night, you'll now need to reveal them, using the Web Focus content manager. See Hide or Unhide the ENR Module on the Homepage.
