CID Election Turnout Research
CALIFORNIA'S BALLOT TRACKING SERVICE: WHO IS USING IT AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT VOTER CONFIDENCE AND BEHAVIOR?
New Release!
Statewide ballot tracking was introduced to California voters in the 2020 election cycle. Available in all 58 counties, the BallotTrax tool sends updates via email, text, or voice message informing
registrants when their vote-by-mail ballot has been mailed to them, when it has been received by their county elections office, and the status of their ballot as it is processed.
This new report from the USC Center for Inclusive Democracy examines who signed up for BallotTrax to track their vote-by-mail ballot, what their voting behaviors are, and what their preferences are when signed up for BallotTrax . Findings improve the understanding of how BallotTrax may be influencing Californians’ interactions with the electoral process.
The New Electorate - The Strength of the Latino, Black and Asian-American Vote
New Release!
CID’s new research report provides an up-to-date profile of Latino, Asian-American and Black voting power throughout the United States. Despite notable growth in the eligible voter population, voters of color have historically been underrepresented in the electorate, creating a substantial voter participation gap.
This report examines the changing demographic landscape in each state, the participation of Latino, Asian-American and Black eligible voters in general elections, and identifies the potential electoral influence voters of color could have on national and local elections. The study also includes a breakdown of the role that voters of color will play in the 2024 elections.
Future reports in this series will include an analysis of the impact and opportunity of the Latino, Black and Asian-American vote in 2024 swing states and competitive congressional districts.
