The State of the Voting Rights Act and Election Administration Fireside Chat

More than half a century after the Voting Rights Act transformed American democracy, core protections face sustained pressure in courts and at the polls. The State of the Voting Rights Act and Election Administration convenes leading voices to take stock of where we're at and what comes next. The conversation will cover the Section 2 litigation pipeline post-Allen v. Milligan, redistricting and minority representation, registration and list-maintenance practices under the NVRA, and how election offices are navigating federal mandates, evolving technology, and mis/disinformation. This event is ideal for students, practitioners, and advocates seeking an update on the voting rights landscape. Special appearance by Senior Director of Policy and Program, Lindsay Langholz.
