Time to Vote Boston is a research project of Northeastern University in partnership with Greater Boston Interfaith Organization, Asian Community Development Corporation, Northeastern University Student Government Association, and Boston Intercollegiate Government. We are using a web-based application to study how long people wait in line to vote in the September 14, 2021, Boston mayoral primary election to support efforts to improve voting equity. We seek to scale these efforts out nationally during the 2022 mid-term elections, when wait times may be dispositive to whether someone casts a vote.
