Previously there was a Brooklyn address that could be passed in to retrieve the test election, but that doesn't appear to work anymore. Is there another address that can be used for testing?

Is there currently an address we can use to retrieve the Testing Election?

I think you can put in any address you want and still get the "VIP Test Election".  My website is using the API:  https://voter.turbotools.org/

Hi, for testing purposes, you can use election ID 1001 to denote future elections. Please share the API request you are making if the data does not show up for the test election.


Thank you,
Carolyn on behalf of the Google Civic Info API team

I'm realizing that I asked the wrong question. The address we've used for testing our polling location code is no longer returning a polling location entry. Is there an address we can use that will have both early and day of polling locations in the test election (2000)?.

Hi, you can use the same address as before with election ID 1001, but specifically the test polling location data for election ID 2000 is cleared out. We're working on updating the documentation to reflect the change.
