Voter Access in California Elections: An Education Series
The Haas, Jr. Fund was proud to recently partner with the Center for Inclusive Democracy at USC to present a six-part legislative briefing series examining elections reform, voter access, voter participation, and equity in California elections. The educational series featured leading experts and focused on underrepresented communities.
The sessions, which were held in-person at the California State Capitol, provided California legislators and their staff an opportunity to learn more about the state’s election systems and its changing electorate. The briefings also served as helpful context for researchers, practitioners, and funders interested in an overview of the challenges and opportunities for making California a more inclusive democracy.
