Create map

The Election Results application consumes maps that are accessible to the general public and named users in your ArcGIS Online organization. Create an Election Results map and share it with citizens interested in election results information. Citizens and other interested parties can then access the Election Results application on smartphones, desktop computers, or tablet devices.
