The 2008 election season brought an unprecedented level of attention to the system of election administration in this country. Fraudulent voter registration, registration list purges, provisional voting, ballot design issues, and oversight by partisan officials all became hotly debated topics. As we move into the 2010 election cycle, these issues will again be at the forefront of public debate. This symposium will focus on legislative reforms to improve the current system of election administration, including voter registration, voting technology, ballot design, voter ID laws, and the selection of election officials.
This event is free and open to the public. Photo I.D. is required for admission. 6.5 CLE Credits will be awarded for full event attendance.
