Description
In late 2000, following the disputed 2000 presidential election and with Corporation support, the California Institute of Technology, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, launched the Voting Technology Project (VTP). The VTP conducts research and engages in public outreach focused on the role of technology in ensuring that elections are administered fairly and effectively. With Corporation support, and fifteen years later, the VTP will conduct research and release a report looking at voting technology challenges of the 2016 election, and it will redesign and relaunch its website, as well as develop new social media channels to disseminate its work to other researchers, thought leaders, and policymakers.
