Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 - 7:30PM The home of Film Producer Lawrence Bender, Bel Air, CA
Join CA Secretary of State Debra Bowen with other key experts and thought leaders to discuss the future of elections systems - the cornerstone of our democracy. Learn about a non-profit Silicon Valley project making headway to re-build the nation's voting systems into a transparent publicly owned service.
We'll discuss the future of how America will cast ballots in a digital age and how this might impact our democracy. Will we one day be able to vote from our phones? What impact will the Internet have? What is this new voter registration modernization effort? How can technology actually help (not hurt) auditing, security, and transparency? What is to become of the existing "industry" for voting equipment, when now only two vendors remain serving the majority of elections systems nationwide, including L.A. County?
With only three years before the next Presidential election, the time is now for change in how technology is used to cast and count our ballots, and manage elections. Learn what steps are being taken and how even you can help.
