Georgia Ballot Track

Dev environment

To start up the dev environment, run make up.

The dev server will be running on http://localhost:5050.

After pulling new code, if the SQL schema has changed, run make initsql to migrate the database.

Download the statewide zip files from https://elections.sos.ga.gov/Elections/voterabsenteefile.do for both the November general election (35209.zip) as well as the January runoff (35211.zip). Place these two zip files in the root of this repo.
Run make loaddata FILE=35209 and then make loaddata FILE=35211. Note that the first time you run these, you'll see a couple errors about "relation does not exist". That's OK.
Run make initsql.

To refresh the data, download and replace those two zip files, then run step 2 and 3 again.

If you'd like to cleanup the python code formatting, run make format

GA Ballot is hosted on Heroku. It can be deployed with one click in the Herkou UI. The database is a Heroku add-on for convenience.

Due to Heroku's poor support for Pipenv, if you change the requirements inside Pipfile you must run make lockdeps to update requirements.txt.
