The 2020 election is shaping up to be one of the most challenging to execute in our nation's history. The coronavirus pandemic is still wreaking havoc throughout the country, forcing election officials to rethink many of their normal protocols. Here in Texas, unlike in many other states, expanded mail-in voting — which would help to alleviate some of the concerns of in-person voting — has not been allowed. Join us for a conversation with Travis County Clerk Dana DeBeauvior (MPAff '81; @TravisCoClerk) and Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins (@cghollins) to learn about the challenges they have faced in preparing for a safe 2020 election and the creative ways these two election officials are working to protect their constituents right to vote. LBJ School Assistant Dean for Civic Engagement Victoria DeFrancesco Soto will moderate the conversation.
