The L2 Political Academic Voter File is a person-level dataset that represents the entire population of the United States that is registered to vote. L2 Political aggregates data from each of the states' public voter roles and supplements each record with modeled demographic variables, such as party affiliation, income, and many others. NYU licenses access to a map-based data extraction tool (VoterMapping) and also provides access to the underlying data files via NYU Research Workspace. The data file is updated on a continuous basis.
Because this data contains personally identifying information (PID), users of the VoterMapping extraction tool must be current NYU faculty, researchers, or doctoral students and must agree to the Terms of Use, which include asserting that the requested data represents research that has been registered with NYU's University Committee of Research Involving Human Subjects. Questions should be directed to data.services@nyu.edu
