Project Vote’s Election Administration (EA) Program was created to respond to on-going problems that restrict voter access to the democratic process.  Currently, the organization’s refined strategies simultaneously battle voter suppression schemes and advocate for policies and procedures that favor the interest of historically disenfranchised Americans.

Project Vote's EA program utilizes research, litigation, advocacy, and field expertise to ensure that voter registration is accessible, effective, and enduring. Through our EA program, we utilize our staff in:

• Creating pilot programs to research and promote systems of paperless registration;

• Expanding civic engagement through preregistration of 16 and 17 year-old citizens and moving to institutionalize voter registration in high schools;

• Advising and providing technical assistance to local and national agencies and nonprofits advocating for and promoting voting rights polices and procedures that positively impact underrepresented constituencies; 

• Ensuring state and local governments are in compliance with the United States  Constitution and federal election laws such as the National Voter Registration Act, Voting Rights Act, and Help America Vote Act; 

• Tracking state and federal election bills, offering bill alerts and weekly updates on voting-related legislation to keep advocates, reporters, and policymakers informed of important developments related to voting rights (to subscribe to the Election Legislation Digest, please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

• Blogging about the latest advancements in election law;

• Improving the administration of elections to ensure that low-income and minority residents are not disadvantaged in the registration and voting process; and

• Conducting research on a broad number of election administration issues and communicating these findings to allies,advocates, and the media. 

Project Vote works towards systemic changes; lowering the barriers that prevent underrepresented populations from registering and voting, while working to enforce and expand public policies and procedures that encourage full participation in elections.
