Who Is Protecting Your Vote?

With the November general election around the corner, public debate surrounding voting procedures, election security and system transparency has reached a fever pitch.

In an era where competing narratives can obscure facts and erode public confidence in democratic institutions, staying informed is no longer just a civic virtue—it's your ultimate shield. How secure is the voting process? What measures guarantee that every legitimate vote is counted accurately? And what role do everyday citizens play in safeguarding the democratic process?

Featuring four prominent panelists with hands-on experience at the local, state and national levels, Defending the Ballot Box offers an urgent, candid look into protecting the voter and their vote, the mechanics of election administration, the safeguards shielding your ballot, and the critical responsibility every voter carries when shaping the future of our nation.
