Election administrators face a long list of challenges in 2024. These include potential cyberattacks from foreign agents, criminal ransomware gangs attacking computer systems, increased complexity in electoral processes, and the development of AI-fueled election-related disinformation and misinformation that has led to threats to election officials, and undermined public confidence. These challenges are present in both Canada and the U.S., however in the latter, these challenges have been exacerbated by partisan bickering, which has delayed federal funding and banned some previous partnerships that had been used to bridge financial gaps. Many jurisdictions have responded to this “Year of Challenges” by bringing forward new ideas and novel solutions. Join the roundtable to find out how your colleagues are addressing some of these challenges to ensure that our elections remain free and fair.
