The Center for Election Science (CES) is an American 501(c)(3) organization that focuses on voter education and promoting election science.[4][5][6][7] The organization promotes electoral systems favored by social choice theorists, primarily cardinal voting methods such as approval[8] and score voting.[9] They have their early roots in effective altruism.[10][11]
The Center for Election Science helped pass approval voting in the city of Fargo, North Dakota, during the 2018 elections alongside Reform Fargo.[12] In St. Louis, Missouri, the organization passed an approval voting law in 2020 with the help of St. Louis Approves.[13][14][15]
