Blog | Observing U.S. Elections Webcast Archive

In case you missed “Observing U.S. Elections” on Oct. 13, 2016, an archived webcast of this event can be viewed below.

While The Carter Center does not monitor U.S. elections, it recently conducted a state-by-state research project to determine just how possible it is to observe U.S. elections. Can nonpartisan U.S. or international groups observe elections? What groups will be watching the polls in November? Find out how regulations in various states stack up against international standards and hear what Carter Center experts have learned in the video below.

Panelists included:

• Jason Carter, former state senator and chairman of the Carter Center’s Board of Trustees
• Avery Davis-Roberts, associate director of the Carter Center’s Democracy Program
• Wendy Underhill, director of the National Conference of State Legislatures’ elections and redistricting team
• Ambassador Audrey Glover, head of the 2016 U.S. election observation mission organized by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
