The pandemic has, as of April, altered the U.S. election landscape with many states delaying primary elections and forcing the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to change its convention from July to mid-August to protect public health and ensure that everyone can engage in the voting process.

The CCP virus pandemic has altered over two dozen states’ democrat presidential primary elections and is requiring state policymakers to think ahead to ensure fair and safe elections in November. In many states, laws are being introduced to guarantee that voting is efficient and effective despite social distancing measures being in place for an uncertain length of time.
