[EL] Electionline.org relaunch & new research on how voters vote

[Adam Ambrogi]

Good morning!

Wanted to share some exciting news— we at Democracy Fund have been working hard to relaunch electionline.org —have done a redesign of the site, added functionality and opportunities for training and job/resource posting, an election events calendar, and of course, daily news about election administration and voting policy.  Over the next few years we will work to continue to add functionality— but we’re excited to expand the usability for academics, advocates, election officials and journalists alike.

The blog from Stacey Scholl on the site details: https://www.democracyfund.org/blog/entry/democracy-fund-relaunches-electionline

Separately, linked on the homepage of electionline.org is our new research report from Natalie Adona and Paul Gronke, using CCES data from 2008-2016 to get a view on how voters are viewing the voting process— their knowledge about state law and practice, their views on trust in elections.  You can review and download the report here:

https://www.democracyfund.org/publications/understanding-the-voter-experience-the-publics-view-of-elections

In this report, we cover:
Mode of voting preference
Tolerance for waiting in line
Knowledge of Voter ID requirements
Poll Worker job performance
Measures of trust in the elections process
How partisanship and winner’s effect affects the view of the voting process
And much, much more...

Please consider sharing with your networks, signing up for the Electionline Weekly emails, and please feel free to provide us with feedback!  We definitely want to thank Mindy Moretti, longtime electionline.org editor, and Democracy Fund staff Stacey Scholl & Tammy Patrick for all their hard work.  Thanks for your interest!

Best,
Adam Ambrogi
