The Center for Election Science is an American 501(c)(3) organization that focuses on voter education and promoting election science.[5][6][7][8] The organization promotes cardinal voting methods such as approval[9] and score voting.[10] They have their early roots in effective altruism.[11][12]
The Center for Election Science helped pass approval voting in the city of Fargo, North Dakota, during the 2018 elections alongside Reform Fargo.[13] In St. Louis, Missouri, the organization passed an approval voting law in 2020 with the help of St. Louis Approves.[14][15][16]
