Voter Access in California Elections: An Education Series

We are proud to partner with the Center for Inclusive Democracy at USC to present a six-part legislative briefing series examining elections reform, voter access, voter participation, and equity in California elections. This new educational series will feature leading experts and focus on underrepresented communities.

The sessions, which will be held in-person at the California State Capitol, are an opportunity for California legislators and their staff to learn more about the state’s election systems and its changing electorate. The briefings may also be helpful for researchers, practitioners, and funders interested in an overview of the challenges and opportunities for making California a more inclusive democracy.
