Mark Your Calendar - for February 5-6, 2015!
Join the U.S. and Overseas Vote Foundation, FairVote, and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law for the Ninth Annual Voting and Elections Summit on February 5-6, 2015, to examine the profound and persistent issues surrounding U.S. voter participation, engagement in our democracy, and what we can do about it.
The 2014 midterm election had the lowest turnout since 1942, with more than 144 million eligible voters not casting a vote. With the 2016 election cycle already gearing up, join the two-day conference combining high-profile speakers and hands-on workshops to discuss ways to increase voter participation, voter confidence and equitable representation in our elections.
2 Days - 2 Formats: The 2015 Summit will encompass two days with two very different formats, which provide different approaches and opportunities for analysis for the audience.
Day 1: Thursday, Feb 5th, 8:00 am - 6:00 pm, followed by a Reception
- Varied program will move from keynotes to fast-paced interviews to deep discussion roundtables – all designed to expose you to ideas and tactics, which address the central questions of how to improve elections and increase participation.
