  • Rethinking Election Day: How Vote Centers Are Changing the Landscape
    Date: December 2, 2025
    Location: Online
    Category: Webinar

    For most of the public, vote centers seem simple: instead of having to go to their assigned precinct, voters can cast their ballot at any vote center in their area. But as election officials know, a lot goes on behind the scenes to get those vote centers up and running smoothly.

    Join The Elections Group for a conversation on the implementation and administration of vote centers. Researchers will share the latest insights from recent studies, and local election officials will discuss lessons learned from their own experiences operating vote centers.

    This webinar is part of the Books & Ballots series, a partnership consisting of The Elections Group, the Center for Election Innovation & Research, and Arizona State University’s Mechanics of Democracy Laboratory.
