Can direct experience with administering elections increase confidence in elections? Many democracies face lack of confidence and increased dissatisfaction with democracy. I theorize that voters who have less direct experience witnessing the administration of elections are more likely to believe election conspiracies and have reduced confidence that ballot counts are accurate. One way to solve this problem is to encourage more rank-and-file voters to become election workers administering the election (registering voters, counting ballots, and so on). I test this with a research study embedded in the United States, in the swing state of Arizona. The study was conducted in partnership with the Arizona Secretary of State’s office. Registered voters were recruited to participate in a Fellows program placing them as workers in election offices administering the election; and compared to a control group who did not participate. Survey outcomes at the beginning of the program and survey outcomes at the conclusion of the program are compared to a panel study of control group respondents. Preliminary evidence shows that those who participated in administering the elections had significantly higher trust in democracy and confidence in the election outcomes. The conclusion is that bringing new voters directly into the process of administering elections can have spillover effects that encourage greater confidence in elections and reduce polarization.
