The Help America Vote Act of 2002 requires the states to develop a single, computerized voter registration data base (VRD) that is defined, maintained, and administered at the state level. To help the states with this task, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission asked the NRC to organize a series of workshops and prepare an interim report addressing the challenges in implementing and maintaining state VRDs. The EAC also asked the NRC to advise the states on how to evolve and maintain the databases so that they can share information with each other. This report provides an examination of various challenges to the deployment of state VRDs and describes potential solutions to these challenges. This interim report's primary focus is on shorter-term recommendations although a number of long-range recommendations are presented. The final report will elaborate on the long-range questions and address considerations about interstate interoperability of the VRDs.

"This compendium includes: A set of overview essays that address broad-ranging issues of elections data collection, usage and management ; A set of topic essays that deal with seven specific areas of elections data reporting, each including a set of detailed policy recommendations ; A 50-state assessment of data reporting, covering two areas: voter registration and history files, comparing the cost and comprehensiveness of these files; and state response rates to the federally mandates U.S. Election Assistance Commission Election Administration and Election Day Survey conducted in 2006. The compendium strives to advance the study of election information by assessing the scope of data reporting. The assessment highlights those states that do a particularly robust job of data collection and reporting; comments on the challenges facing other states in emulating those models; and examines the diversity of both data and data collection mechanisms among local governments within states. We hope that this compendium will provide helpful insight for policy debates in Congress; for the Election Assistance Commission as they think about their own data collection efforts; for state legislatures as they consider reform legislation; and for state and local election officials in their implementation and maintenance of our election system"--Title page verso
