Learn more about your impact
Today, in our country people are focused on the mechanics of democracy – how we run elections - in a way that we never have before. That’s why ASU has created the Mechanics of Democracy Laboratory to train those who aspire to have a career in election administration. We also intend to research to improve the efficiency of our elections. But it’s more than that. We know that elections are run well in this country but because of the misinformation about elections, we face a communications challenge and that’s why at MODL we are partnering with the media, with the ASU Cronkite School in Downtown Phoenix, and even beyond the walls of ASU to tell the remarkable story of the mechanics of democracy in this country.
