From The Herald-Dispatch August 05, 2019 Taylor Stuck Harris Public Policy Associate Professor Anthony FowlerHarris Public Policy Associate Professor Anthony Fowler was featured in The Herald-Dispatch, discussing how the option to vote using a mobile voting app increased voter turnout in West Virginia, the location of his study. "When West Virginia registered voters living abroad had the opportunity to vote online, they were 6 to 9 percentage points more likely to request a ballot, mobile or otherwise, and 3 to 5 percentage points more likely to request a ballot," Fowler said. "The effects of voting online could potentially be even greater if it were implemented in a more convenient way or for a population that didn't have to first submit a Federal Post Card Application in order to receive a ballot."

According to research done by a professor at the Harris School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago, West Virginia's mobile voting app for residents overseas increased voter turnout from 3 to 5 percentage points. https://t.co/25IqBxM1UK— The Herald-Dispatch (@heralddispatch) August 5, 2019 Upcoming Events More events Data and Policy Summer Scholars Program (DPSS): Deep-Dive Conversation with Jose Macias and Alexandra Sobczynski Mon., May 06, 2024 | 7:30 PM International Policy Action Lab Mini Class with Austin Wright Tue., May 07, 2024 | 6:00 AM Driving Policy Innovation in the Social Sector in India: Lunch Conversation with Luis Miranda Tue., May 07, 2024 | 12:30 PM Harris School of Public Policy (The Keller Center), Room 2112 1307 E 60th St Chicago, IL 60637 United States
