Use Maps for this Election

Select to display the Maps tab. To display a map, the county must provide VR Systems with a .KML map file (also called .KMZ in zipped format) produced from your GIS software. If you are unable to provide a .KML map file (or .KMZ file), a DBF file, an SHX file, and a shapefile (.SHP) from your GIS system is required. Email these files to VR Systems Web Support and we will set up the maps on your website. VR Systems must receive these files at least two weeks prior to the date when you want to display the maps on your website.

This option is only available if you have selected the Include Precinct Level Results option. You must also provide a precinct-level results file to display this information on your website.

NOTE: When this option is enabled, the value in the # of Reg. Voters field on the Edit Precinct page must be greater than zero for each county.
