Contents: Electionline.org is a non-partisan, non-advocacy website that provides election news and analysis to “policymakers, officials, journalists, scholars, and concerned citizens.” It is the product of the Election Reform Information Project, funded by a three-year grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts. The site posts and organizes links to news articles, published by a variety of sources, on a daily basis. Electionline.org publications analyze the current state of election reform and the business of elections, and are freely available in PDF. An online library provides information on pertinent laws governing elections, including the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). An interesting feature is an interactive map that allows users to create and view specified criteria, such as number of registered voters or type of voting system used, at the county, state, or national level. The site is keyword searchable and a weekly newsletter is available for subscribers.
