Conclusion

In the years since HAVA mandated the nationwide adoption of statewide VRDs, the states have been largely successful in deploying their initial VRD implementations. Nevertheless, there are a number of immediate opportunities for states to improve the operation of their VRD systems. In addition, if the promise of statewide VRDs for improving voter registration is to be realized, the states will have to address some longer-term issues. These issues can be successfully addressed only with coordinated, concerted, and sustained support for continuing improvement on the part of many parties, including state election officials, nonelection state and local agencies, state legislatures, voter advocacy groups, and the federal government.

Improving State Voter Registration Databases outlines several actions that are needed to help make voter registration databases capable of sharing information within state agencies and across state lines. These include short-term changes to improve education, dissemination of information, and administrative processes, and long-term changes to make improvements in data collection and entry, matching procedures, and ensure privacy and security.
