2015 • 2 years • Strengthening American Democracy
Founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, The Carter Center has helped to improve life for people in more than 80 countries by resolving conflicts, advancing democracy, promoting human rights, preventing diseases, and improving mental health care. The Center is also a world leader in promoting fair and accountable democracy through monitoring elections. Since 1989, the Center has observed 100 elections in 38 countries, developed training programs that teach citizens to monitor their own elections, and published election standards that assist democracies as they develop election laws. Due to the differences in voting administration practices across the 50 U.S. states, The Carter Center has not, in the past, conducted election monitoring here. The proposed grant provides support for a project to develop a system for election observation in the U.S. in partnership with other organizations, including the National Conference of State Legislatures.
