During the US presidential election in recent years, many media websites, including TV and Newspaper websites, used interactive maps to display and track the election results. The clickable electoral map was colored red or blue to represent political parties in the United States starting from the 2000 presidential election. A blue state tends to vote for the Democratic Party while a red state indicates the majority of voters vote for Repulican Party. States in which the popular vote was within a small percentage are gray and are denoted as battleground states. Roll the cursor over the state will display the popular vote for the last few elections. Visitors could even click on the remaining states as the voting goes to make their predictions and see who reaches the 270 electoral votes first. Web visitors can also select other election from drop down list or by clicking the hyperlink, to see the result of a particular election and its historical information.

Because of its dynamic nature, interactive map can also be used for projection purposes. For example, as the electoral votes for many states will change based on the outcome of the 2010 Census - a projected map can be created based on Census Bureau estimates.
