Question - Where to obtain data on voting pattern by zip code

Hello Everyone,

I a student researcher and is looking for data on political affiliation by zip code. Simply put, I am interested in knowing people in XXXXX zip code majorly votes for YY party.
Could you please guide me where can I find such data?

  • That's tough information to get, because voting data is handled by states, and there's no federal agency that collects that information. If you're interested in a specific area, I'd look into their local elections department. If you're looking for national data, you probably won't get exactly what you're looking for, but I have one suggestion: the New York Times' national election map that goes down to the ward level: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/upshot/2020-election-map.html. Miraculously, the make the data downloadable, so you could aggregate up to zip code with GIS software.
