RESEARCH: EQUITY

With safeguards, Voting at Home can increase election participation across all demographics in an equitable way.

There is ample data that when implemented well, voting at home can help enfranchise many voters who often encounter barriers to in-person voting, as well as increasing turnout across demographics. It is crucial that any mailed-out ballot voting system includes elements like in-person voting options and robust voter education to address the real issues — both partisan and procedural — that can make an otherwise good system not perform equitably for underserved communities.
