The Voting Project

A closer look at the processes that undergird our political institutions

Elections are at the core of American society: they determine the trajectory of social issues, create accountability for political representatives and set the foundation for generations of change. Because of this, access to the ballot box has been a long-contested issue that remains the subject of intense scrutiny.

The Voting Project is a Midstory endeavor dedicated to understanding and unearthing the history, traditions and future of electoral politics in Ohio and the Midwest.
