Electoral Integrity Project Seminar Series - Online Voter Education: how Election Management Bodies Engage with Voters.
How do electoral officials use social media to engage with voters? Join academics Mara Suttmann-Lea (Connecticut College) and Thessalia Merivaki (Mississippi State University) for a presentation on their research on the role of American local election officials’ use of social media for voter education, the gaps that exist in current practices, and the implications of uneven use across jurisdictions for voter education. Following their presentation, Nick Gamache (Elections Canada) will present their recent work engaging with stakeholders online during the recent 2021 Canadian Federal Election.
Chaired by Holly Ann Garnett (Royal Military College of Canada) and Laura Stephenson (Western University).
