One of the best ways to increase confidence in our elections and strengthen our democracy is for more voters to learn about the systems in place, see the action, and meet the people who make it all happen. But how many voters actually know that our election processes are open for public observation? How many voters have met the officials who administer our elections?

Watch the panel discussion to learn about the paper trail that makes Connecticut elections tamper-proof, what goes into keeping our voter rolls up to date and accurate, how our tabulators are programmed and tested, how post-election audits verify the accuracy of election results, and much more!

This is a great opportunity to hear firsthand about the people and systems that safeguard our elections.

Panelists:

• Jennifer Barahona — Deputy Secretary of the State
• Ryan Burns — ED, State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC)
• Alexander Russell — UConn Prof., Voting Technology Research Center
• Brenda Falusi — RP, Registrars of Voters Association of Connecticut (ROVAC)
• Lisa Dalton — President, Connecticut Town Clerks Association
