Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Session Description

The Center for Science and Democracy at the Union of Concerned Scientists works to promote independent science, a responsive, transparent democracy, and evidence-based decision-making on issues impacting vulnerable communities. We have assembled an Election Science Task Force of more than 20 experts, including sitting and former Secretaries of State, local election administrators, data scientists, election law scholars, and political organizers, working to create a more accountable and fair electoral process. Our roundtable will report on efforts to improve election data transparency and integrity leading up to the 2024 election. Our goal is to inform policy and research, in building and sustaining a healthy and equitable democracy.
