Redesigned Cuyahoga County Board of Elections Site Goes Live on Synapse
3/4/2008 -
Cuyahoga County has launched a fully updated and redesigned Website for the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections just in time to display information about and results of the March 4th Ohio primary election. The new site, which is powered by iData’s Synapse Publisher Web Content Management System™ offers a broad array of information and resources for voters, candidates and poll workers. Some of the new features include the ability for voters to view their registration status, participation history and precinct details (including a map and directions to the precinct from their home address). The site also offers both complete results of elections as well as a “My Results” wizard that allows voters to select only the contests that they are interested in and view results of those, updated every 15 minutes.
iData Technologies assisted developers from the Cuyahoga County Information Services Center with implementation of the Synapse Publisher CMS for the new site as well as custom development of some functionality for the new site. The site was designed to allow election results to be updated as ballots were tabulated, and it was architected to handle heavy traffic as voters and members of the media accessed the site beginning with the closing of polls to view results of the primary election --- an election with unprecedented voter turnout and interest.
The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections is located at 2925 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44115 and can be reached at 216.443.3200 or http://boe.cuyahogacounty.us.
