Yes, I’m working with her on this. It’s slow going. We need an small army of law students to document everything.

I’m not sure of the coverage, but Jan Leighley was working on updating her data set that has these kinds of facts as variables.

You might send an email to Jan at American University to see what she’s collected.

I’ve a student working on getting all of the Book of States election law variables (most recent two decades roughly are in Excel) into one database. There seem to be lots of oddities, however. Some states seem to change policy every other year a few times. I’ve not had a chance to dig into this deeper, but I suspect some mistakes were made in counting by researchers (i.e., count any day or just work days) or who knows what.

Any assistance with this project is welcomed!

Hi Lia,

The Book of the States--archives available online for all prior years up to 2009--has registration deadlines.

http://knowledgecenter.csg.org/kc/content/book-states-archive-1935-2009<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__knowledgecenter.csg.org_kc_content_book-2Dstates-2Darchive-2D1935-2D2009&d=DwMFaQ&c=HUrdOLg_tCr0UMeDjWLBOM9lLDRpsndbROGxEKQRFzk&r=xr_OjwGHtP-zw6I-DJj_MQ4cusLbiVT1bScGa0c8ZJo&m=IdvQcEj30f_g82ScTqV_Mnn5wRdCQlzAAgv25bM4JLs&s=A5WKpvF2HkCobJ4tjSdgog2xszZNwg7LQdwZ2ipIHdM&e=>

Page 261 of the 1990 edition has voter registration closing dates.

Page 40 of the 1970 edition has cool stuff about registration rules, although closing dates aren't reported in that edition.

Hi all,

I am trying to find sources for states' voter registration deadlines (number of days before a general election) before the adoption of the National Voter registration Act.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Lia
