5th Annual Election Sciences, Reform, and Administration Conference

The Election Sciences, Reform, and Administration (ESRA) conference brings together election experts from academia, state and local government, non-profits, and research institutes to develop empirical approaches to the study of how law and administrative procedures affect the quality of elections in the United States.

Schwarzenegger Institute Academic Director Christian Grose will be a speaker at the Conference and present his research on “The Impact of the USC Schwarzenegger Institute nonpartisan democracy grants in the 2020 election.”

The conference is an opportunity for participants to engage with cutting-edge research about election administration and to discuss the challenges facing state and local election officials. The conference’s collaborative atmosphere also fosters connections between election administrators and election scientists, as between junior and senior scholars.
