Newsletter: findings and takeaways from our #BolsteringElections symposium on funding American elections with The Dole Institute of Politics. 1. Running elections across America costs about $4-6 billion a year, and costs continue to rise due to national and international threats. However, insufficient data makes it difficult to understand how much funding is needed and spent locally. 2. There is a critical need to focus on the voters, not politics, when it comes to administering elections. See more and stay tuned for more Bolstering Elections programming updates throughout the year!

Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate reposted this
The final feature from the #BolsteringElections series asks the question, “Where do we go from here?” Matt Weil, executive director of Bipartisan Policy Center’s Democracy Program says the financial burden placed on local governments to hold elections is unsustainable, arguing innovative approaches are needed to create a federal, consistent, and non-discretionary source of funding for elections. Watch his insightful conversation with Tammy Patrick from our Election Administration Symposium with the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate on our YouTube Channel: https://ow.ly/Nprp50RsBVx
