About this event

NONE OF THE ABOVE

How Can We Restore Confidence in our Electoral System?



An analysis of who is most or least likely to vote and why some voters take the time to go to the polls but leave their ballot unmarked. What can we do to improve voter turnout and increase confidence in our electoral system?

Our speaker,
John Scibak , will cover:
  • The history of protest votes  (e.g., "None of the Above", third-party votes, abstentions, blank and spoiled ballots)  in the United States and other countries.

  • The potential impact of third party candidates and non party affiliated voters on turnout and election results. 

  • How has the shift in U.S. voter demographics changed party affiliation and voting practices over time?
  • Who is most or least likely to vote in the next presidential election and why? 
  • How accurate are polls and do they influence voter turnout?

Date and Time

Wednesday, August 28, 2024, 7:00 PM until 8:00 PM Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC-05:00)
Videoconference information will be provided in an email once payment is received.
