How Open Data can support citizens' participation in elections - European Data Portal

"Open Data can have an important role during elections. Not only to show their results (previous election results published as Open Data), but also to inform the citizens about the candidates, where the polling stations are and how accessible they are for disabled people. According to the Open State Foundation, only seven municipalities had published information about polling stations as Open Data. Having such information available as Open Data might further boost the voter turnout rate."
