As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, local election leaders are re-examining their legal authority to better understand, and even push against, existing rules and barriers to ensure the safety and accessibility of voting during the 2020 election cycle. The COVID-19 pandemic has already provoked several challenges to state and local election laws, and exacerbated the tensions between local elections officers and state officials. The local role in elections has often been controversial. In this timely webinar, Richard Briffault will discuss his recent article titled Election Law Localism in the Time of COVID-19, which details research in the tensions, challenges and opportunities in local-state election law and how municipalities can address increased concerns about the potential impact on and integrity of the 2020 election cycle. By looking at existing local election law to not only adapt state laws to their particular local circumstances, local governments can also use their authority as a force in ensuring a safe, fair and democratically legitimate election.
