Each year, the Brennan Center hosts briefings and delivers presentations on annual trends in voting rights. On this page you can access and download each presentation we have delivered.
The Brennan Center for Justice urges major voting system vendors to create a voluntary database of known equipment malfunctions for election officials prior to this fall’s elections.
Voting systems fail in a particular county in one election, and then again later, under similar circumstances, but in a different locale. These repeated failures disenfranchise voters and damage public confidence in the electoral system. This report calls for a regulatory clearinghouse — a national database, accessible by election officials and others, that identifies voting system malfunctions.
