The next Knight News Challenge (which opens tomorrow) will focus on the question "How might we better inform voters and increase civic participation before, during and after elections?"

They will be awarding a total of more than $3 million for innovative ideas in this space. The potential funding available for each submission ranges from $35,000 to several hundred thousand dollars.
