Voting technologies and election administration have become a growth area for academic research. Before the 2000 U.S. presidential election, a strong body of research in election science did not exist. However, in the decades since that close and contested presidential election, researchers from multiple academic disciplines have produced many excellent studies of election procedures, laws, administration, and technologies. This chapter provides an overview of the political science and political administration research literature on voting technologies and election administration in the United States.
