At Georgia Law on April 5, he presented his paper "The Politics of the First Best: Depolarization by Design and the Voting Rights Act" to a faculty workshop.

Professor Elmendorf's varied teaching and research interests include election law, administrative law, constitutional law, and property and natural resources law. His recent writings have focused on the roles that ongoing advisory bodies can play in fostering governmental accountability and sustaining the foundational commitments of liberal democracy, and  judicial formulation and administration of doctrines to implement the fundamental right to vote.
