The Washington Post debuts new user features for data-driven 2024 election experience

The Washington Post will feature comprehensive analysis, live reporting and new technology built to tell the story of Election Day 2024 and to offer users the opportunity to navigate and personalize their own election experience.

The Washington Post is committed to reporting accurate results and winners as quickly as possible for elections being held across the country through Tuesday, including votes for president in every state and D.C., U.S. Senate races, gubernatorial races, U.S. House seats as well as state ballot initiatives on abortion and other issues.

For the first time, The Washington Post will unveil its statistical models forecasting the outcome of the presidential contest and who will control the House and Senate majorities. Those models, known as “Post Pulse,” will complement a new Election Dashboard — a raw feed of individual batches of live vote updates from swing states, as provided by The Associated Press — so users can navigate both macro and micro developments. The Washington Post will also have more than 600 results pages available, featuring every presidential, Senate, House, governor and competitive statewide election, plus select abortion-related ballot measures and marijuana legalization measures.

Anchored by Libby Casey, Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann, The Washington Post will stream an Election Night Live Show, kicking off at 7 p.m. ET and available on washingtonpost.com and YouTube. More than 60 Washington Post reporters, photojournalists and video journalists will be on the ground in 25 states across the country, reporting on issues of voter intimidation and suppression, certification issues, disinformation and more.

On Election Night, Washington Post iOS users can now stay up to date on the electoral college contest in real time via a new iPhone lockscreen widget.

Off-platform, special edition episodes of both “Post Reports” and “The Campaign Moment” will break down what’s happening, and the new snackable audio series “Try This” offers a crash course on how the electoral college works, the complicated way electoral votes are assigned and why it’s so difficult to change. The Washington Post’s award-winning TikTok team plans to fact check the latest as races are called or contested.
