Preliminary Report: Impact of Differential Privacy & the 2020 Census on Latinos, Asian Americans and Redistricting
The Constitution requires a census every ten years in order to determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives. In addition to determining this reapportionment of House seats, Census data are also used for purposes of redistricting, distribution of federal funding, and assisting policy makers, businesses, and other interested stakeholders in assessing and addressing community needs.

Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) is generating considerable interest on the part of voting rights advocates, voter modernization proponents, and policymakers as a possible means of improving and increasing voter participation, particularly among those least likely to participate. AVR generally entails a statutory system whereby information about an individual’s voter eligibility that already exists within government databases is then used to register qualified individuals to vote without the individuals themselves needing to take action.
