The Associated Press has been tallying election results since 1848, utilizing a process where local vote count reporters submit results for collation, verification, and reporting.
With no nationwide body for collecting election results, the AP addresses a significant gap by providing a standardized aggregation of data from numerous local offices, ensuring timely access.
Elections are managed locally by various offices under state regulations, and the Associated Press plays a crucial role in streamlining results that are often delayed or disorganized.
The AP’s vote count not only fills an information void but ensures that election data is formatted uniformly, adhering to quality control measures for accuracy.
