This week we’ve been sharing our work at the 2026 Election Science, Reform, and Administration (ESRA) annual conference in Phoenix, AZ! So great to join election officials, practitioners, and researchers to discuss best practices in election science and administration.
Our 2024 precinct-level dataset is now complete! It's our most extensive release yet, providing quality-assured and standardized data for election results across 6,146 jurisdictions nationwide. Learn more about this project & get access to the data, using buff.ly/3sWXism.
The 2024 EPI is now live! For the launch, our director @cstewartiii has published a detailed analysis of the 2024 index and how EPI indicators and scores have changed over time. Check it out ⬇️
MEDSL has just published the Elections Performance Index updated to the 2024 election. You can check out my Substack, where I discuss the improvement in election admin over the decade and speculate about next steps for the EPI. @MITelectionlab playingwithelectiondata.substack.com/p/the-election…
Each of these projects aims to improve policymaking and practice, and features a strong partnership with practitioners to align research goals with the needs of election administrators, policymakers, and legislators.
Today we’re awarding grants to ten research projects across the country that aim to improve the security, accuracy, and accessibility of voter registration systems and list maintenance practices. buff.ly/g0xAjUC
@Jason_C_F For a closer look at RLAs, you might find it interesting to browse the report & resources from this audit-focused summit: electionlab.mit.edu/election-audit…. While it's from 2018, it links to some great (more detailed) resources!
Final reminder: Proposals for our grant supporting research on voter registration and list maintenance are due TODAY, January 16. More info & form to submit are on our website at buff.ly/G8R0054
@Jason_C_F Thanks for the question! To help us respond, would you mind sharing the link to the specific update you're referring to?
Gig alert. The @mitelectionlab is searching for a new Research Support Associate to support research in the lab. The ideal candidate is just graduating & wanting to see what a research environment is like before going on to graduate school. careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie…
Election friends, the MIT Election Lab team will be stepping away from our screens for some R&R until January 5. We wish you all a peaceful close to 2025; see you in 2026!
Don't forget: the clock is ticking on our RFP supporting research that aims to improve voter registration systems + list maintenance practices! Proposals are due Jan. 16; optional letters of intent due by Dec. 15. More info on our website: buff.ly/wtQe256
Come work with us! We are looking for ✨TWO✨ new folks to join our team this winter: a project manager to support our programs, and a communications associate to grow our outreach. Learn more about both positions: PM buff.ly/6Meq3KJ / Comms buff.ly/1601UHw
We're thrilled to launch a new grant opportunity for election researchers & practitioners, aimed at improving the security, accuracy, and accessibility of voter registration systems + list maintenance practices. Find the full details on our website: buff.ly/YYouOTp
Don't miss this great new tool from the folks over at the Election Law Program:
I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the Election Law Navigator. After years of work, the Election Law Program has built a free tool to navigate the complexities of state election law. Explore the Navigator bit.ly/eln-navigator @WMLawSchool @StateCourts #ElectionLawNavigator
We've just added another four states to our 2024 precinct-level dataset; if you've been waiting for AR, WA, WI, or UT, the wait is over! Plus, ICYMI: last week we added 7 additional states. Find them all on our GitHub: buff.ly/Rk069z8
Voter registration lists require constant maintenance. To keep them accurate, election officials rely on a number of data sources, but it gets tricky across state lines. We looked at a few ways states have been meeting this challenge by sharing data: buff.ly/u6kG7il
Data geeks! We've just added a ton of new states to our 2024 precinct-level dataset. Check out the new states or catch up on our GitHub: buff.ly/pmqQ9Ea
