The Center for Digital Government has completed this year's evaluation of America's top digital county governments. This year's Digital Counties Survey found many counties using information technology in increasingly innovative ways and improving service to their citizens.

The 2008 Digital Counties Survey is an annual study by the Center and the National Association of Counties (NACo). To recognize the hard work and innovation of the best governments, the survey's top digital counties were honored at a national awards ceremony which coincided with NACo's national conference in Kansas City, Missouri, July 11-15, 2008.
