Join the League of Women Voters of California and the Mechanics’ Institute for a vital conversation on the state of our democracy.
Part of the On Democracy series, this hybrid panel features election experts and legal scholars discussing the evolving landscape of voter access and election protection.
Natalie Adona, Jesse Mainardi, and Dora Rose in conversation with Scott Shafer.
As midterm elections approach, and the U.S. Supreme Court considers multiple election law cases, what can voters expect when they cast their ballots - and how may that change in the near future? Experts in election ethics law, election administration, and voting rights education and activism will address, among other questions.
- What are the constitutional rights and protections for voters?
- How do past and current redistricting laws, in California and other states, affect voters and election outcomes?
- What are potential threats to voter access?
- What can be done to protect voting rights and election best practices?
Featuring Natalie Adona, Registrar of Voters for Marin County-Department of Elections, Professor Jesse Mainardi, UCLaw SF, and Dora Rose, Deputy Director, League of Women Voters of California. This panel will be moderated by Scott Shafer, senior editor with the KQED Politics and Government desk. Co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of California and Ace Elliott-Hernandez, MI Trustee.
