Annually, political scientists gather at the Palmer House in Chicago for the spring Midwest Political Science Association conference. This year’s conference, April 7-10, has a number of panel sessions that readers might find of interest. This is not meant as a comprehensive list, but just what I’ve found so far for panels and discussions that look interesting to scholars who study election administration and voting technology.

• Thursday:
  • Assessing the Impact of Election Integrity Policies
  • Why Don’t Americans Vote? Meet the Authors.
• Friday:
  • Assessing the Effects of Innovation in U.S. Election Administration.
• Saturday:
  • Author Meets Critics: “Ballot Battles: The History of Disputed Elections in the United States” by Edward Foley.
• Sunday:
  • Attitudes Toward and Effects of Election Laws.
