MONTGOMERY,
Ala. – Secretary of State Beth Chapman has announced that the State of Alabama
will again use a live election night reporting system statewide during the
November 6th general election. The system will collect election results from
all 67 counties and make them available on the web the moment they are entered
on election night by the local Probate Judges.
The
election night reporting system, or ENR, takes vote totals directly from each
county and displays them in a usable format on the internet. Once the results
are posted to the web, they will be displayed using maps and graphics to show
vote totals, percentages and other important information to the public. The
system is a continuation of Chapman’s initiative to bring the Secretary of
State’s office into the 21st century by using new technology to better serve
the citizens of Alabama and provide maximum transparency in the elections
process. Additionally, for the first time, the ENR site has been optimized for
viewing from mobile devices as another way of providing accessibility to
Alabamians.
"We
are excited to continue service to the citizens of Alabama," said Chapman.
"This is just one of the many ways my office promotes fair and honest
elections: through transparency and access to valuable election information.
Alabamians will be able to see democracy in action as it unfolds before their
eyes in a state of the art way."
The
election night reporting system, which is live now, can be accessed at www.AlabamaElectionResults.com.
