This event has passed.
In January 2014, the Presidential Commission on Election Administration (PCEA) presented its findings in a report to President Obama and Vice President Biden. Together with commission co-chairs Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg, the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) is actively working in states across the country to advance the PCEA’s recommendations.
Co-chairs, former PCEA commissioners, and various state election directors convened to discuss the report and reflect on the past year. Topics of focus included voting technology, polling place lines, early voting, voter registration, and data sharing.
