    The Impact and Implications of Early Voting: What the Experts Have
    to Say

/New Rochelle, NY//, October 10, 2012---/Although Election Day 2012 is 
still weeks away, many Americans are already casting their votes. The 
number of people choosing to vote before Election Day is increasing 
dramatically, and the potential impact and implications of early voting 
are the subject of several recent articles in */Election Law Journal: 
Rules, Politics, and Policy 
<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=03c3344b067477a8550776e35eb865b66351cbadba82dac84fb63fb2b7ad2a44>/**/,/* 
a peer-reviewed publication from *Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers 
<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=03c3344b067477a8252212231432f33a10e0db2154448460335ae0f2fc544fe7>.* 
The articles are available free online on the /*Election Law Journal 
(ELJ)*/ website 
<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=03c3344b067477a8550776e35eb865b66351cbadba82dac84fb63fb2b7ad2a44>. 

In a number of states, early voting centers are open several weeks 
before Election Day. "Today, Election Day is merely the last day a voter 
can cast a ballot," writes *Douglas Chapin,* the Pew Center on the 
States (Washington, DC), in an article entitled "Non-Precinct Place 
Voting and Election Administration 
<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=03c3344b067477a8d6c5424aed13d0c9954f280687aaea6d0c9d02a0bbf12ee7>." 
With voters now having more choices when, where, and how to vote, the 
phenomenon of non-precinct place voting is creating policy challenges 
for election administrators.

The proliferation of voting before Election Day raises many important 
questions. Does voting early affect the choices voters make? Does it 
increase turnout? Are there other implications of the move away from 
voting at one's local precinct on Election Day?

In "Souls to the Polls: Early Voting in Florida in the Shadow of House 
Bill 1355 
<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=03c3344b067477a8f165c615c837ac0889aff61add965bb5d2db011c763d73a2>," 
*Michael Herron* and *Daniel A. Smith* explore the impact of the 
limitations on early voting enacted last year by the Florida 
legislature, which have recently been the subject of voting rights 
litigation.

*Charles Stewart III,* Massachusetts Institute of Technology 
(Cambridge), explores the controversy over whether voting early by mail 
saves costs and can improve the quality of elections in "Adding Up the 
Costs and Benefits of Voting by Mail 
<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=03c3344b067477a896d5c21132664de9bdd002d03c7577755197c7ad34f8bf39>."

Advertising and outreach are important tools for encouraging voters to 
cast ballots early in person, state *M.V. Hood III* and *Charles Bullock 
III,* University of Georgia (Athens), in "An Examination of Efforts to 
Encourage the Incidence of Early In-Person Voting in Georgia, 2008 
<http://click.liebertpubmail.com/?qs=03c3344b067477a8d1c680e9d71c514be3c16b36d913857dfc79e8090e8025ec>." 

"/ELJ /serves as a peer-reviewed outlet for legal and policy research, 
but inevitably the content reflects current political controversies," 
says *Paul Gronke,* Co-Editor of /Election Law Journal /and Professor of 
Political Science at Reed College (Portland, OR). "I am pleased to see 
that the best scholarship on early voting is appearing in /ELJ."/
