Tutorial: Election Results
Introduction
Election returns from past elections can usually be found at the websites of Secretary of State offices for state races, and at county voter registrar or election department offices for local races.
On election night, these same agencies post election returns online as they become available.
Use a search engine like Google to find the website for a Secretary of State's Office in a particular state or for a voter registrar's office or elections department in a particular county.
The election returns will be posted to special sections of these agencies' websites.
