Technology is used in myriad ways to ensure the integrity and security of elections, to lower the costs of balloting, and to make voting more convenient and more accessible to more voters. What are those ways in which technologies are deployed in elections and are they effective? Are there unintended consequences? Is more technology a panacea? Or is it a Pandora’s box? In this webinar, we’ll ask of panel of Georgia Tech researchers and community leaders to weigh in and to share their outlook for the future of elections.
