Americans concerned about hyper-partisanship are exploring electoral reform as a promising solution. These reforms would change how people run for office, vote and win. But election reforms can be hard to achieve, and some may be more effective than others.

Join the Libraries for a survey of the current reform landscape with Drexel Assistant Teaching Professor Jack Santucci and New America’s Lee Drutman.

This event is part of the Drexel Libraries' Countdown to Vote speaker series and Drexel Votes, which seek to encourage the entire Drexel University community to become registered voters, educated and engaged citizens, and active supporters of the candidate of their choice.

Zoom information will be provided to all registrants 24 hours in advance of the event. Contact Communications Manager Stacy Stanislaw at svs22@drexel.edu with any questions.
