Find your polling place and follow the US Election on the go

The United States midterm election is on Tuesday, November 2, and we encourage all eligible US citizens to get out and vote. We’ve made it easy to find your polling place and follow election news by visiting our Election Center mobile site at m.google.com/elections on your Android-powered phone or iPhone.



Enter the address where you’re registered to vote, and we’ll show you a Google Map of your polling place. The Election Center site also has information about candidates running for office in your area.

So come Tuesday, let your mobile phone guide you to your polling place, and let sanity guide your vote!

    Can we keep your political views out of these blogs?

    Only Android and iPhone? Come on Google, I love you guys, and would love to use this feature (even only for a day), but I'm stuck with a Blackberry until I can upgrade. Uncool.

    No WebOS or Blackberry love here? As far as political views, Ryan, please keep them confined to your own personal blog....

    While it's a great tool - you don't get a complete sample ballot for your area - so in some ways you actually go to the polling place less informed ("I didn't know there was a school board or water district race..."). In 6 states (CA, IL, MD, MN, OH & PA) only www.evoter.com gives voters not just their polling place, but a complete interactive ballot listing every single and ballot measure candidate that you will see on your ballot - and where candidates can post profiles and organizations can post their endorsements.

    After standing in line for 2-1/4 hours, I was told I was at the wrong polling place. Google engineers and QA...this is not your finest hour.
