A Summary of What States Do on the Most Contentious Election Rules
This paper presents the most recent analysis of how different states conduct their elections, with an emphasis on the most contentious issues: whether and under what conditions people can vote early by mail; whether voter identification is required; and whether and by whom ballot harvesting is allowed. The summary data is presented in a simplified and graphic format, with full data sources provided in the appendix.
