Since the issue of where and when to vote is so sensitive, important, and subject to fraud and suppression attacks, perhaps it might be best to direct people to the authoritative source rather than aggregate them.
Even if you mean well but get it wrong you could conceivably be on the hook for 1 year in prison for every person you misled.

It is a lot of web scraping plus elbow grease and you could do the same for US voting locations but it's a big job and big responsibility like adopting a puppy.
