The Election Administration and Voting Survey has included a Policy Survey section since 2008 (the Policy Survey was previously known as the Statutory Overview from 2008-2016, the name changed to the Policy Survey in 2018). In this section, states are asked a series of questions about their state election laws, definitions, and procedures. This information helps the EAC and its stakeholders understand the quantitative data from the EAVS while also providing a clearer picture of the local legal landscape governing U.S. elections.
