It released another tool today which helps users easily find  out whats their voting location. All you have to do is just enter your house  address and it will show you the voting location.</p>
<p>  <a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/google/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Google">Google</a> worked with a number of partners, including many  state and local election officials, the <a href="http://www.lwv.org/Election2008/index.html">League of Women Voters</a>,  the <a href="http://www.pewtrusts.org/">Pew Charitable Trusts</a>, and others  involved in the <a href="http://votinginformationproject.org/">Voting  Information Project</a> to release this service. </p>
<p>This service offers a lot of information to its users in terms of Voter Registration information, Hotline numbers, Information on &quot;Vote by Mail&quot;, etc.. all of this information shows up based on your home address.</p>
<p><span id="more-2029"></span><a href="http://tnerd.com/tag/google/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Google">Google</a> also offers an API of this service so that webmaster/developers can develop services based on the new API. If developing and coding is not your cup of tea but want to help people find their voting location you can simply add a widget (like the one below) to your website.</p>
<p>Click <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/mapplets/elections/2008/us-voter-info/us-voter-info.xml" target="_blank">here</a> to visit the tool and <a href="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/creator?synd=open&amp;url=http://election-maps-2008.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/poll411-gadget.xml" target="_blank">here</a> to get the widget for your site or just enter your address below to find your voting location.</p>
