WorkshopDescription
This workshop will guide participants through the development of a thorough and repeatable process for analyzing voter turnout using a variety of demographic elements. Using the open-source scripting language Python and the data analysis library Pandas, participants will integrate demographic data with voter turnout to compare and contrast an area’s demographic makeup with voter turnout. Such a tool will support efforts like gap analysis and the evaluation of voter turnout initiatives.
