Breakout Session
How We Vote: In-Person and Absentee/Mail Options
12:30 PM – 1:45 PM ET
Voting options changed dramatically in 2020, and also over the last two decades. In this session, participants learn about absentee/mail voting policy options, as well as the latest on in-person voting, including early voting. Bonus: attendees get a run-down on federal action on elections—a policy area generally reserved for the states.
