What’s normal and what isn’t on Election Day and beyond: A webinar for reporters

Most people who have voted know what happens up until they feed their ballot into a scanner, or similar technology. But what happens next? How are ballots transported? Where do they go? How are they verified, cured and counted? Why can it take some time to count votes? Why is voting de-centralized in the U.S.? What role does the Associated Press play? Plus, we’ll discuss what’s happening at the federal level through rule-making, presidential orders and court decisions. Submit your questions in advance when you register.

This webinar will feature insights from:

Tammy Patrick, chief programs officer at the Election Center

Thessalia Merivaki, the Thomas S. Foley Distinguished Professor of Government and Director of Thomas S. Foley Institute of Public Service and Public Policy at Washington State University.

Jen Fifield, a reporter at ProPublica who covers election issues, voting rights and threats to democracy.

Clark Merrefield, senior editor at The Journalist’s Resource, will moderate.

This webinar is being co-presented with SciLine.
