ALI Members voted today to approve Tentative Draft No. 2 of Principles of the Law, Election Administration: Non-Precinct Voting and Resolution of Ballot-Counting Disputes.
This project launched in 2010 under the leadership of Reporter Edward B. Foley and Associate Reporter Steven F. Huefner, both of The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. It marks ALI’s first journey into this area of law.
This Principles project is broken down into three Parts. Part I outlines the ways in which states can securely and efficiently incorporate early voting and absentee voting in an effort to provide the most accessibility and convenience to the American voting public.
Parts II and III address how states can manage post-election disputes, with Part II focusing on elections generally and Part III concentrating on the procedures necessary in disputed presidential elections in light of unique scheduling constraints.
Congratulations and thank you to the Reporters, Advisers, and ALI members who gave so much of their time to complete the Principles of the Law, Election Administration: Non-Precinct Voting and Resolution of Ballot-Counting Disputes project.
