In this report by the Election Center, a group of elections administrators from
across the country provide recommendations from the unique vantage point of being
the people who actually have to make our elections work day in and day out. Their
recommendations cover reforming the process of voter registration by third party
groups and other voter registration practices; provisional ballots; voting machines;
expanding early, absentee and mail-in voting; poll workers recruitment and training;
and, notably, expanding the use of "election centers" rather than multiple
polling sites. The group also states that, "Despite the passage of the Help
America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) and the appropriation of $3 billion in federal
funds, it is clear that there is room for improvement in the way our election
system is administered. However, we must reiterate our statement following the
November 2000 general election, in our professional opinion; America's election
system is NOT in crisis. Proposals for change should be carefully weighed with
due regard to what is possible given the resources available to administer elections.
