More Than A Mandate: Making Post-Election Reporting Matter


What is post-election reporting and why should we do it? Aren’t we tired?

Join elections and public campaign financing administrators to discuss why and how different localities use the reports after an election to go beyond the mandates. This is a great session on post-election reporting as a powerful communication tool and an opportunity to learn about how to get started or level up your organization’s reporting. Hear about how reports can be used to advocate for funding, make recommendations, build trust with stakeholders, and address miscommunications. We will learn about leading practices in the field from a variety of jurisdiction sizes and budgets - from how they got started to addressing challenges (and successes) along the way.
