Description

Report of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, which was established by President Obama with the mission to identify best practices in election administration and to make recommendations to improve the voting experience. In the U.S., decentralization and reliance on volunteers ensure that the quality of election administration varies by jurisdiction and even by polling place. The involvement of officials with partisan affiliations means that the rules or their interpretations will be subject to charges of partisanship depending on who stands to win from the officialsäó» decisions. This report discusses the issue of resources for conducting elections; the challenges of technology; long voting lines; disproportionate impacts and enforcement of existing federal law; and professionalism in election administration. It also provides recommendations for improving the voter experience. This is a print on demand report.
