Election Science Office Hours with Prof. Alvarez

In order to better learn about how election officials and stakeholders are working to protect elections in 2024, we have been talking directly with election officials, election technologists, and other researchers. How have they worked to improve accessibility and security of the election process in this election cycle? What are they concerned about? Are they encountering election disinformation and how do they promote the facts about elections in America? We’ve called these conversations “Office Hours,” with Professor Alvarez talking directly with election officials and stakeholders. These episodes of “Office Hours” will continue until January 20, 2025 and we are making the recordings available on YouTube and on Spotify as a podcast.

We’ll be adding new episodes of Election Science Office Hours as the post-election environment develops.

Upcoming Episodes to be announced soon.
