      abstract = {This book examines the dynamics behind shifts in voter  registration rates across the states and adopts a framework  of collaborative governance with election administration at  its center. The book starts by introducing readers to the  "voter registration gap," an aggregate measure of variance  in voter registration, and demonstrates how it fluctuates  between federal elections. To explain why this variance  exists, the author examines the relationship between  federal reforms, such as the National Voter Registration  Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act; and state-level  reforms, such as Online Voter Registration. Thessalia  Merivaki argues that the weak relationship between the two  is not surprising, since it hides dramatic variations in  administrative practices at the local level, which take  place in shorter intervals than the most frequently used  two-year estimates. In closing, she shows that challenges  to successfully registering to vote persist, largely  because of how, when, and where eligible citizens have to  register. Thessalia Merivaki is an Assistant Professor of  American Politics in the Department of Political Science  and Public Administration at Mississippi State University,  USA},
