The Polling Place Lookup API allows users to create applications that include a dynamic polling place lookup based on a voter’s street address and ZIP code.

Authentication

Using any DNC API requires the use of an API key. By default all API key users are rate limited to 100 requests per hour – if your application requires a higher volume key, please get in touch.

Looking Up a Polling Place

To lookup a polling place, perform a GET on http://services.dnc.org/places/lookup with the following parameters:

Required parameters:

  • address: the URL-encoded house number and street name to look up, i.e. “address=2005%20Pimmit%20Dr”
  • postal_code: the 5-digit ZIP code that goes along with the address, i.e. “postal_code=22043″
  • your API key: i.e., “key=YOUR_API_KEY”

Dear Michael L,

Today is Election Day. The Tea Partiers and the cynics are hoping we all decide not to do anything and stay home.

Today Common Dreams published the transcript of a speech Bill Moyers gave this past Saturday night as part of the Howard Zinn Lecture Series at Boston University.

It’s rather long but we encourage you to read the whole speech.

Here’s the final paragraph:

Friend –

It’s Election Day, and we all need to call voters for 20 minutes.

We know there are millions of people across the country who might not cast their ballots — unless they hear from someone like you. These people — whether they vote or not — will be the difference in the closest races.

That’s why thousands of supporters are using our call tool after they vote today to make sure these folks get to the polls.

You can talk to these people right now. You can remind them of the importance of their voice in this election. You can tell them where their local polling place is — and when it closes its doors.

It’s all one click away. Start right now — because “later” will be too late.

Can you take 20 minutes to call some of these voters in key districts?

This election will determine the direction our country takes over the next two years.

Once the polls close, we can only watch the results come in.

Those results are being determined right now. And we can do a whole lot more than just watch.

As long as the polls are still open, you can have a real impact on the races that will come down to the wire.

Join thousands of supporters just like you for the final push — and pick up the phone now:

Thanks — now let’s get to work,

Friend –

A quick reminder: You said you were planning to vote before 11:00 a.m.

It all comes down to today. Make sure to vote.

Click here to look up your polling place and get Maryland voting information.

We expect turnout to be very high — and with so many extreme candidates trying to take our country backward, we can’t afford for anyone to sit out.

You’ve already set your Election Day plan — now it’s time to follow through.

Let’s win this together,
