The Institute for Election Administration Research & Practice, a collaboration of Auburn University and the Election Center, are excited to announce the Call for Innovative Election Administration Funding Solutions, a competition seeking groundbreaking, practical solutions to address the critical issue of adequate funding of election administration across local, state, and/or federal levels in the United States.
This challenge is designed to encourage creative thinking and collaboration in developing new approaches to election funding.
