We have observed that there is no single authoritative source of information that aggregates key dates and deadlines for federal elections including, voter registration deadlines, mail-in ballot requests, and results certification deadlines. There are at least seven federal agencies that collect some of this information, but it is usually disconnected, non-comprehensive, and often ad hoc. These data are important for many uses, including reducing misinformation and increasing public trust. 10x will investigate the development of a comprehensive data collection instrument for election offices to report their data as well as an API to facilitate use of the data by the public and other agencies.
