EVN gathers essential elements and experts to educate election officials and administrators on issues involving best practices, voting, voter registration, and polling places, to solve specific challenges, and to address special circumstances.
Annual Conference
EVN’s invitation-only annual conference is a nonpartisan event that presents cutting-edge perspectives and U.S. election knowledge. We bring together keynote speakers, experts and thought-leaders – conversant in a range of election and voting issues – with regional, state, and national election officials, and administrators. Topics discussed at the conference include voting systems, technology and security, voter registration, election integrity and verification, and contemporary, emerging concerns.
This conference is by invitation only. Please email info@electionverification.org for further information.
During the conference, participants exchange information on innovative tools and strategies for maximum voter participation and verified elections, explore new research, and enjoy the opportunity to educate and be informed across disciplines in an open and collaborative environment.
Resources
We’ve both developed and curated articles to help those responsible for election processes and integrity identify issues and learn about solutions and strategies that other professionals have successfully applied.
