Empowering Every Voter: Voter Education Webinar Series

Welcome to Empowering Every Voter, an eight part video webinar series brought to you by the ABA Standing Committee on Election Law and the ABA Commission on Law and Aging designed to educate voters about the nuances and challenges of navigating the voting process along eight different issue areas. These videos will release weekly, with four scheduled for the Summer and another four scheduled for the Fall. Alongside the videos, you will also find additional information on the topics covered by the videos, prepared by experts and designed to give you all the information you need about how American democracy works.

We would like to thank the ABA Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice, the ABA Senior Lawyers Division, the ABA Commission on Disability Rights, and the Advisory Commission of the ABA Task Force for American Democracy for their co-sponsorship of this project. This project is being funded through a grant from the Herb Block Foundation.
