Hacking Democracy: A Forum on Election Security
March 29, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The League of Women Voters and the UW Center for Information Assurance and Cybersecurity invite you to a forum to discuss threats to national and local election security on Thursday, March 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the University of Washington HUB (Husky Union Building) Room 250.
The Center for American Progress recently gave Washington State a grade of “C” when it comes to election security—our state is not immune from the national concerns over election interference. So what are our voting vulnerabilities, and what can we do about it?
Featured speakers include Professor Matt Bishop, Department of Computer Science at UC Davis, a leading expert on the issues of cybersecurity and voting systems. Kirstin Mueller, Election Security Chair of the League of Women Voters of Washington will lead a panel including Rep. Zack Hudgins, Chair of the Washington House State Government Elections & IT Committee, Josh Benaloh Senior Cryptographer at Microsoft Research, and Barbara Endicott-Popovsky, Executive Director of the UW Center for Information Assurance and Cybersecurity.

This event is free and open to the public.
