Advancing Multiracial Democracy in California: Pathways Leading up to the 2024 Election

September 21, 2023 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Join us at the Institute of Governmental Studies Library on Thursday, September 21st at 4:00pm for a presentation on the latest round of Berkeley IGS Poll data, conducted in partnership with the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund, followed by a moderated discussion on the results and the various conditions that may influence key races, ballot measures, and more with our panel of experts.

New polling conducted by the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley on voter satisfaction, voting rights, misinformation, and election reforms highlights the challenges that persist in achieving an inclusive, multiracial democracy. This panel will examine Californians perceptions of the status quo, support for reforms, and discuss strategies to help California become a national model for inclusive democracy.
