About the 2017 Conference

The first ESRA conference was held on July 27th and 28th, 2017, at the University Place Hotel & Conference Center in Portland, Oregon.

The inaugural conference, co-organized by the Early Voting Information Center (now the Elections & Voting Information Center) at Reed College and the Center for Public Service at Portland State University, brought together scholars of political science and election administration to develop rigorous empirical approaches to the study of how laws and administrative procedures affect the quality of elections in the United States. The conference aimed to identify major questions in the field, foster collaboration between election administrators and election scientists, and connect senior and junior scholars.
