With the election season upon us, it is crucial that we learn the misperceptions and facts about election integrity. Voting is a fundamental privilege that enables citizens to make their voices heard at every level of government. To ensure that every citizen has an equal voice in politics, election procedures must make voting both accessible and secure. Cleta Mitchell and Lynn Taylor from the Election Integrity Network (EIN) offer a training to members of Independent Women’s Network on one of America’s most sacred rights. As EIN says, we need to make the goal of “Easy to Vote and Hard to Cheat” a reality in every voting jurisdiction in the United States. During this training, you will learn why election integrity matters, how citizen volunteers can help ensure the integrity of elections, and key roles for volunteers. Register Now
