The book starts by introducing readers to the ?voter registration gap,? an aggregate measure of variance in voter registration, and demonstrates how it fluctuates between federal elections. To explain why this variance exists, the author examines the relationship between federal reforms, such as the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act; and state-level reforms, such as Online Voter Registration. Thessalia Merivaki argues that the weak relationship between the two is not surprising, since it hides dramatic variations in administrative practices at the local level, which take place in shorter intervals than the most frequently used two-year estimates. In closing, she shows that challenges to successfully registering to vote persist, largely because of how, when, and where eligible citizens have to register. Thessalia Merivaki is an Assistant Professor of American Politics in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at Mississippi State University, USA. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 410 0$aElections, voting, technology. 606 $aVoter registration$zUnited States$xStates 606 $aVoting$zUnited States$xStates 615 0$aVoter registration$xStates. 615 0$aVoting$xStates. 676 $a342.73075 700 $aMerivaki$b Thessalia$01074233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484961903321 996 $aThe administration of voter registration$92572021 997 $aUNINA
