Two Important Upcoming Conferences
In Portland today and tomorrow, the National Academy of Sciences is holding some public sessions about their voter registration reforms. Some details later today, and I'll try to blog a bit today.
Next Monday and Tuesday, I'm organizing a conference sponsored by the Make Voting Work initiative called "Data for Democracy". It's focused on what sorts of data are essential to monitoring and improving democratic performance and how we can improve the administrative capacity of local, state, and federal data collection efforts.
The website is http://earlyvoting.net/datafordemocracy, and we hope to issue a compendium in a few months.
