The California Civic Engagement Project is a new data repository and research initiative for the Sacramento Capital Region and the state of California. The CCEP seeks to address the limited quality and quantity of publicly available civic engagement data. Its mission is to collect and curate civic engagement data from a broad range of sources, making them a publicly available resource to all interested audiences, including public officials, advocacy groups and non-partisan organizations.

A key focus of data analysis will be identifying disparities in participation across place and population. One unique contribution of the CCEP is its analysis of California election data as presented by General Population, Latino and Asian group registered turnout and percent electorate.

The project aims to support research that explores non-traditional measures of civic engagement, particularly those that may be more likely experienced by disadvantaged or disconnected groups. The CCEP invites inquiries from interested researchers to access these data.
