Trust on the Ballot: Voting in Washington features three Washington Secretaries of State discussing the history and evolution of voting in our state from the various systems in place to the complex and polarized climate we now operate in. Current Secretary of State Steve Hobbs joins former Secretaries of State Kim Wyman and Sam Reed for a panel discussion convened by the University of Washington’s College of Arts & Sciences and the Evans School of Public Policy & Governance. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early for a reception with UW faculty who have expertise in politics, elections, and democracy.
The goal of this program is to help Washington residents understand the history and evolution of voting in our state, from those who have led these efforts over the past several decades.
The audience will get to listen to the panelists as they have a facilitated discussion on stage. There will be a moderated Q&A session at the end.
Those who are unable to attend in person can watch the livestream or the video recording via TV-W.
This event is free and open to the public.
