Background Since 2004, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has conducted the Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS) following each federal general election. The EAVS asks all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories— American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—to provide data about the ways Americans vote and how elections are administered. Since 2008, this project has included a separate survey collecting information about state election laws, policies, and practices. The EAVS provides the most comprehensive source of state and local jurisdiction-level data about election administration in the United States. Topics covered through EAVS data collection relate to voter registration and list maintenance, voting practices for overseas citizens and members of the armed forces serving away from home and other important issues related to voting and election administration. The EAC commissioned Charles Stewart from MIT and John Fortier from the American Enterprise Institute to develop the ‘‘Lessons Learned from the 2020 General Election’’ report. This report draws on a wide variety of evidence and statistical sources to review a variety of topics that inform our understanding of how well the election was run: Shifting from inperson to mail balloting; managing mail and in-person voting; counting votes; paying for the election; voting technology; voter registration; and voter confidence.

Background

    Since 2004, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has 
conducted the Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS) 
following each federal general election. The EAVS asks all 50 U.S. 
states, the District of Columbia, and five U.S. territories--American 
Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. 
Virgin Islands--to provide data about the ways Americans vote and how 
elections are administered. Since 2008, this project has included a 
separate survey collecting information about state election laws, 
policies, and practices.
    The EAVS provides the most comprehensive source of state and local 
jurisdiction-level data about election administration in the United 
States. Topics covered through EAVS data collection relate to voter 
registration and list maintenance, voting practices for overseas 
citizens and members of the armed forces serving away from home and 
other important issues related to voting and election administration.
    The EAC commissioned Charles Stewart from MIT and John Fortier from 
the American Enterprise Institute to develop the ``Lessons Learned from 
the 2020 General Election'' report. This report draws on a wide variety 
of evidence and statistical sources to review a variety of topics that 
inform our understanding of how well the election was run: Shifting 
from in-person to mail balloting; managing mail and in-person voting; 
counting votes; paying for the election; voting technology; voter 
registration; and voter confidence.

Status

    This roundtable discussion will be open to the public.
