In preparation for the 2010 legislative season, Project Vote’s Election Administration (EA) Program is releasing a series of election administration policy recommendation memos for 11 states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

These state-specific memos assess current state election laws in six key areas: (1)Voter Registration; (2) List Maintenance; (3) Early Voting and Same-Day Registration; (4) Voter Intimidation and Suppression; (5) Public Agency Registration; and (6) Provisional Voting. By comparing current laws in each of these states to recommended best practices, Project Vote identifies opportunities for states to improve the fairness and overall quality of their election processes.

We hope these memos serve as a useful tool to inform debate, and inspire reform, among state legislators, election officials, and voting rights advocates. Project Vote is available to provide additional details and the technical assistance necessary to implement these reforms.
