"Whether you have five minutes for research or want to go deep on election legislation in your state, there’s nothing as comprehensive as our Election Legislation Tracker,” said Ballotpedia President and CEO Leslie Graves. “Election law and administration has come front-and-center in recent years, often surrounded by partisan talking points and spin,” said Graves. “Our tracker cuts through the noise to give people what they really want – a simple, powerful, accurate, unbiased and free platform from an organization they trust."
"The Election Administration Legislation Tracker makes it easy to narrow your search to look only at bills introduced in states with Republican trifectas, states with Democratic trifectas, and states with divided government," said Geoff Pallay, Ballotpedia Editor in Chief. "You can also search by the sponsor’s partisan affiliation to see the number of election-related bills introduced by Republicans and Democrats—and how those bills may or may not differ from one another."

- Daily updates by Ballotpedia’s election experts
