At The Center for Election Science, knowledge lies at the heart of our mission. We endeavor to uncover the unseen trends and influences affecting voters, institutions, and politicians, an understanding that can only be gained by viewing all elections.
We seek to share comprehensive educational opportunities and resources with voters to explain how elections are changing and what we can do about it. In this section you will find information on our preferred solution - approval voting - the problems within democracy that approval voting can fix, and deeper dive into the science of elections.
