New measurements of inclusive electron scattering on the proton and deuteron have been made at Jefferson Lab with a four-momentum transfer range of 0.3 Q² 4.5 (GeV/c)² as a study of quark-hadron duality at low Q². The F₂ structure function is found to scale about a common scaling curve down to Q² of 0.5 (GeV/c)², indicating that higher twist effects are small. Duality in other observables and in electron scattering on nuclei are also discussed.
