Title of Study (limit 80 characters)

Improving access to voter information on town/city websites

Summary of Study (limit 500 characters)

During the 2012 elections, NH voters presented photo IDs for the first time. We observed that town websites often lacked adequate voter information. A study of all 237 town/city websites followed. We then developed a template for including accurate and clear voter information on a town website. We presented the results in a webinar in March 2014. That YouTube webinar is on our website with the template. With modifications the template could be used in any state to improve voter information.
