Definition
Vote Record Exists indicates that we have a record of a vote or ballot cast in vote history or early/absentee voting data. Selecting “True” filters to profiles with a vote or ballot cast.
Selecting “False” for a specific election, year, type, or other voting activity criteria filters to profiles for which we have a record of a ballot being issued for a relevant election, but either do not have a record of it being cast or have a record of the ballot being rejected and no record of re-submission. “False” will return profiles with ballots with the status of “Requested” or “Sent to Voter” as well as “Rejected” for the given election, year, type, or other criteria specified.
Selecting “False” without specifying any election, year, type, or other voting activity criteria will filter on all profiles with a record of an unreturned ballot for any election (see above) as well as profiles which did not not request a ballot or vote in-person vote for any election (profiles with no voting activity at all). We do not recommend selecting “False” without specifying any other criteria, as it gives a broad and imprecise result.
