User:Ryan (Wiki Ed)/Early voting planning

Page purpose
This page is for participants in the Wiki Education "Write to Vote" Advanced Wikipedia course. Between February 28 - March 27, we will be collaboratively working to create an article about early voting in the United States.

This page is for planning, coordination, and notes.

Feel free to create new sections, subsections, lists, etc. here. If a discussion, idea, proposal, or question would be useful for all participants to see, consider whether it would be better to post it here than on Slack (where it can more easily scroll off-screen). Please be bold in editing this page!

See also this page where we can collect relevant sources: User:Ryan (Wiki Ed)/Early voting sources.

Other GAs/FAs
These are some existing Good Articles (and Featured Articles) that may be helpful as models. None are perfect, but some deal with similar themes, similar degrees of breadth, similar kinds of sections, etc. Feel free to add to or annotate the list!


 * Voting Rights Act of 1965
 * Voting rights in Singapore
 * Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
 * Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (applying GA standards to this was the focus of the previous Advanced Wiki Scholars course)
 * Slavery in Haiti
 * Legal history of cannabis in the United States
 * Article 9 of the Constitution of Singapore
 * Article 12 of the Constitution of Singapore
 * Fundamental rights in India
 * Nuisance in English law
 * Food waste in the United Kingdom

Important note Many of these Good Article Reviews are quite old (fundamental rights in India, for example, dates back to 2006 and is now tagged as needing more sources), so may not be reflective of what a GA review currently looks like.

Coordinating: what are you interested in contributing? What are you not interested or unable to contribute?
Hopefully by now you've had time to look over the article and put some thought into what sections interest you (and perhaps what sections don't interest you). Maybe you've even noticed a missing section that you'd like to write. It would be helpful for the planning process if everyone responds to this thread with some ideas ASAP. Also feel free to include what resources you have access to if you're willing to look up sources at another person's request (example: Newspapers.com, NewspaperArchive.com, JSTOR, institutional access to a University library/resources, etc).

A talk page tip: don't forget to sign your posts with 4 tildes ( ~ ). For other talk page resources, you may find this page helpful. If you haven't already, it would be a good idea to watchlist this page and the Nineteenth Amendment article.
