Research FellowEmployer: Democracy WorksLocation: Brooklyn, NYCategory: Fellowship
Location: Brooklyn, NY or remote within the US
Target Start/End Dates: August 11th, 2020 to November 10th, 2020 (this is a 13-week temporary position)
Schedule: Full time; 10:00 am to 6:00 pm EST, Monday through Friday
Salary Range: $13,000 for 13 week fellowship (paid in semi-monthly installments)
Level: EntryOrganizational overview:
At Democracy Works, we believe voting should fit the way we live. To that end, we build technology for both voters and election administrators that simplifies the voting process and ensures that no voter ever has to miss an election.
TurboVote, our first service, helps voters register, stay registered, and cast a ballot in every election, from municipal to national. We’ve signed up more than seven million voters for TurboVote by building the largest college, nonprofit, and corporate voter engagement coalition in the country, including more than 300 campuses, nonprofits like Headcount, the Sierra Club, Climate Strikes, and the Hispanic Federation, and companies like Starbucks, Univision, Facebook, Google, Snap, and dozens more. We also help (basically) everyone find their polling place through the Voting Information Project. Its data had 123 million impressions in 2016, and over 11 million voters looked up where to vote on GetToThePolls.com. Ballot Scout helps election administrators track absentee ballots through the mail, providing transparency in the vote-by-mail process, and making it easier to follow up when things go awry. And in 2018, we became the organizational home of the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED).
The Research team collects and standardizes information on how voting works—how to register, how to vote, and when and where elections are happening. Streamlining democracy in this way requires quite a bit of knowledge: what form you use to register to vote in Wyoming, to whom you mail your absentee ballot application in Maine, and whether there’s an election taking place in Oklahoma RIGHT NOW (there probably is!). This information is used by various consumers, both internal and external. The Voting Information Project (VIP) coordinates with state election offices to publish nationally standardized information about where and how to vote—data that powers everything from Google’s polling place search to our text and email reminders to TurboVote users.
As a part of the team, you will work with the Data Project Manager and Director of Election Research to conduct research outreach for the Voting Information Project, contacting thousands of state and local election officials.Specifically:
You will:
Conduct phone and email outreach to local election administrators to get accurate, up-to-date information on elections
Compile the election information into a detailed spreadsheet
Perform quality assurance checks on the information to assure accuracy and completeness of the data
Research user-reported errors
Assist the election research team with other tasks, as they ariseYou are:
Extremely attentive to details
Excellent at communicating, particularly by telephone
Able to organize non-centralized, non-standard information into a coherent format
Skilled at managing multiple priorities
Knowledgeable on a basic level of American politics, elections, and/or election administration, or interested in learningYou have experience:
Conducting concise, clear phone and email outreach with a specific ask
Communicating across different areas of expertise and working in teams
Working on tight deadlines and quickly turning around deliverables
Working with spreadsheets (such as Google Sheets or Excel)Physical demands:
This position requires regular, daily use of a computer to conduct work and communicate with colleagues. For those working out of our Brooklyn office (upon its reopening, TBD), the F train stops closest to our office, but exiting the station requires the use of four flights of stairs. Our office has an elevator available at street level. Streets and buildings nearby are currently under construction, which can disrupt sidewalks and results in varying levels of construction noise audible from the office. Our offices share a set of gendered bathrooms with other offices on our floor, and there are no gender neutral bathrooms in the building at this time.Social expectations:
In this role, you will be required to have significant daily interaction via Slack, email, phone, and video call with colleagues and with many external stakeholders.Time and travel expectations:

A critical component of election security is the ability to determine whether the computers that counted the votes counted them correctly.

Verified Voting is working with election officials to implement risk-limiting audits in as many jurisdictions as possible for the 2020 elections. The State Audit Expansion Specialist will report directly to the Director of Science and Technology Policy and will be primarily responsible for the education and outreach required to build trust with election officials in order to implement statewide RLAs of swing states.
