Election 2024: Voting & Political Campaign-Related Activities on Campus
 Since 2020, the legal landscape for student voting and elections, in addition to cultural expectations and sensitivities surrounding political campaign activity on campus and in the workplace, have shifted and evolved. As the country leaps into the final sprint to the November election, counsel must contend with a heightened level of legal and reputational risk for colleges and universities, which in turn has increased the importance of timely, informed, and tailored advice and outreach to campus clients and community stakeholders. 

Please join us for this two-hour webinar where expert presenters with deep knowledge and practical experience on student voting and campus political campaign activity, including experience serving public and private institutions, will discuss the impact of relevant changes to election and voting laws and the top issues likely to affect your campus over the next few months. The webinar will include: 

  • Changes to voter registration and election laws and impacts on students seeking to vote in your institution’s location or in their home jurisdiction; 

  • Discussion of what likely constitutes “political campaign activity” for students, faculty, and employees in 2024; and 

  • Practical considerations and policy approaches for educating students, advising employees, engaging with the campus community, and liaising with local and state election and political officials.  

 

Who Should Attend? 

This webinar will be of interest to college and university General Counsel and counsel who advise student affairs, faculty and employee relations, and government affairs, and/or community affairs campus clients, as well as campus administrators with responsibilities in those areas.
