Nassau County, FL SOE Selects GeoElections

Vicki Peterson Cannon, Supervisor of Elections of Nassau County, Florida, recently selected GeoElections to meet the GIS and mapping application needs of her office.

“For several years we wanted to implement GIS in our office. We tried other products before finding one that works as effectively. GeoElections operates perfectly with my voter registration system (VR Systems, Inc.)”, said SOE Cannon.

“We are also looking forward to the GeoPackager feature to meet the data requests that come into the office.”
