About This Event

Panelists at this AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project conference will review the election reform lessons to be learned from the 2006 midterm elections. They will discuss the problems that occurred as well as the federal and state reforms to be considered in the near future. A keynote address by Congressman Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich.) will come between the panel discussions.

The AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project aims to synthesize election-related research, link the research and policy communities, track and assist the implementation of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), and encourage improvements in HAVA and in election conduct and administration. Important goals of the reform project are to better inform policymakers, to provide a more comprehensive view of election reform changes among the national policy community, to raise the profile for election reform issues within Washington, and to improve coordination among groups and researchers around the country.
