Akashic is a digital atlas of American politics that brings elections, demographics, geography, and history together in one place. Its interactive tools let users explore the country from the national level down to individual counties, cities, districts, and custom places. The atlas includes more than 22,000 place pages, coverage of all 3,143 counties, and presidential election results reaching back to 1892, alongside data for other races, including Senate, House, and gubernatorial elections.

Visitors can search for a location, explore maps and data tables, compare places, examine political change, and view demographic context such as population, income, age, and language. Akashic also offers election forecasts and election-night coverage, a searchable election archive, downloadable data, embeddable widgets, and an API for developers. Its documentation, methodology, and glossary help users understand how figures are defined, sourced, and tied to geographic boundaries. Designed for people who want to see both the broad national picture and the story of a specific community, Akashic connects detailed local records with America’s longer political history.
