| Desc | ELECTION VERIFICATION NETWORK - THE ELECTION VERIFICATION NETWORK PROVIDES A NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR STRONG RELATIONSHIPS, INFORMATION SHARING, ISSUE DISCUSSIONS AND COLLABORATION AMONG LEADERS WORKING TO IMPROVE ELECTIONS. EVN'S FRAMEWORK ALLOWS PARTICIPANTS TO: 1. PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY EVERY DAY OF EVERY YEAR, NOT JUST DURING THE RUN-UP TO EACH ELECTION. PARTICIAPNTS SHARE RESEARCH AND REPORTS, PROJECT UPDATES, POLICY ALERTS, REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION, AND CALLS FOR ACTION, USING A PARTICIPANT EMAIL LIST THAT IS AT ONCE A COMMUNITY, LIBRARY, LABORATORY, AND THINK TANK. THE RESULTING DISCUSSIONS DISTILLS A VAST FIELD OF NEW DEVELOPMENTS, AIDS COLLABORATION, AND CONNECTS STATE-BASED ADVOCATES WITH TOP ACADEMIC, POLICY, AND LEGAL MINDS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY. 2. PROVIDE FOCUSED TECHNICAL AND POLICY UPDATES, MONTHLY CONFERENCE CALLS FEATURE GUEST SPEAKERS AND GIVE PARTICIPANTS A CHANCE TO DISCUSS HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES. 3. RESPOND COLLECTIVELY TO URGENT ISSUES. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A PROPOSED CORPORATE MERGER WOULD HAVE GIVEN ONE VOTING MACHINE VENDOR CONTROL OF OVER 70% OF THE NATION'S VOTES, AN AD HOC COMMITTEE LEVERAGED STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN EVN TO COORDINATE A QUICK RESPONSE, INFORMING THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OF SERIOUS RISKS TO VOTERS; SIGNIFICANT MITIGATIONS RESULTED. 4. MEET IN PERSON FOR NETWORKING, EDUCATION, PROBLEM-SOLVING, AND STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT. EVN PARTICIPANTS AND INVITED GUESTS MEET FOR AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE THAT GATHERS STAKEHOLDERS AT ALL LEVELS. IN 2010, THEN U.S. ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION CHAIR DONETTA DAVIDSON WROTE: "I LEFT THE EVN CONFERENCE WITH A RENEWED SENSE OF OPTIMISM ABOUT ADVOCATES AND ELECTION OFFICIALS ACTUALLY WORKING TOGETHER AND NOT TALKING PAST EACH OTHER. I TRULY BELIEVE WE'VE BEGUN TO BUILD A FOUNDATION BASED UPON TRUST AND THE MUTUAL GOAL OF SERVICE TO VOTERS." 5. RECOGNIZE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD OF ELECTION VERIFICATION. EACH YEAR EVN HONORS OUTSTANDING LEADERS WITH AWARDS FOR THEIR SERVICE TO DEMOCRACY. | Desc |
