SUMMARY:Geospatial User Group - Third Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: GIS in Elections — it’s More Than Just Maps \nSPEAKER: Robert Ryan\, GIS Analyst\, St. Louis County Board of Election Commissioners \nDESCRIPTION:\nSt. Louis County Board of Elections has had its own mapping department since the 1970’s as administrating\nelections is a tough\, unforgiving business. One mistake can make people think elections aren’t to be trusted.\nMost election offices don’t have GIS users\, but St. Louis County’s high population and complex political\ngeography make hiring them a necessity for responsibilities beyond just map-making. The data we began\nmodernizing in 2017 is now used in so many ways that it allows us to show our staff and the public specific\ninsights into how the Election is progressing. We field a wide assortment of questions: What am I voting on? \nWhich races are getting the turnout? Which polling places are busy? Which polling places or absentee sites\nneed more staff and equipment? Which polling places are most likely to see paperwork issues? How fast can\nwe get the ballots back to the office so they can get tabulated? All these questions or problems involve a map\,\nbut how we approach and use GIS data makes all the difference. \n\n\n\n\nGeospatial User Group (GÜG) is every third Wednesday\, from 3:30 – 5:30pm CST! Enjoy an impactful presentation as well as free drinks\, and networking. This collaborative meetup is for all geospatial users
