Bipartisan Policy Center’s Post

Your Local Government Evangelist here. Do you know how your local elections are certified? Do you show up at the open public meeting to watch officials canvass the vote? Elections aren't certified just in other communities. Elections are certified in every community, even yours! *An election isn’t over when the polls close. It’s over when election administrators complete their post-election activities, and the election results are certified. As with everything else related to elections, state law governs these postelection processes—and there are 51 models.

Following each federal election, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission conducts the Election Administration and Voting Survey to collect critically important data on how Americans vote. BPC’s elections experts partnered with state and local election officials on our Task Force on Elections to submit recommendations for the post-2024 election survey. Our recommendations include: ✅ Ask about the circumstances under which voters may return voted ballots electronically. ✅ Ask about how states determine that a voter is eligible to return a ballot electronically. ✅ Collect more granular data on how ballots are returned electronically by UOCAVA voters. ✅ Collect information on the number of ballots returned electronically by non-UOCAVA voters.

“…Navigating new restrictive and expansive voting and election-related lawsSince the 2020 elections, approximately 20 states have enacted laws restricting the right to vote, while about one-quarter of states have enacted laws expanding it.7 This means that millions of voters will be faced with greater challenges in registering to vote and casting their ballots than was the case during the last presidential election cycle, while millions of others will have additional options to register and vote. While voter education is always a key part of election season, with the deluge of changes to voting laws and practices around the country, 2024 will be a critical year for ensuring voters have all the information they need to make the best choices for themselves on how to register and cast their vote.…” https://lnkd.in/g5pa9xac
