Election Reform Project

The extraordinarily lengthy and controversial resolution of the 2000 U.S. presidential election revealed that our electoral system is in serious need of reform. Since that time, Congress has responded by passing the Help America Vote Act of 2002, state and federal legislators have proposed additional laws and amendments, and scholars and advocates have produced a flurry of research, reports, and proposals. The AEI-Brookings Election Reform Project aims to synthesize that research and bridge together the research and policy communities.
