Mission

We make democracy smart. The Center for Election Science is a nonpartisan 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to election-related scholarship. We educate the general public and help public and private organizations to use better voting methods.

What We Do

We are constantly making efforts to educate the public. Our number of articles continues to grow. We’ve interviewed similar organizations and academics. Among these academics is Dr. Kenneth Arrow, a giant in social choice theory. Plus we made a really sweet video on Approval Voting with the help of our supporters.

We’re also on the ground. We’ve done public speaking events for Science Cafe in Arizona, Left Forum in New York, Potrero Hill Democratic Club in San Francisco, and Votenet in D.C. And we’ve spoken before elected bodies such as the San Francisco City Council; Littleton, Colorado City Council; and Arizona House Judiciary Committee.

Additionally, we have provided counsel to civic organizations and political parties of all stripes to improve their internal election process.
