Promoting Political Participation: A Conversation Among State Legislators

On February 25, ACS hosted a panel of state legislators that discussed proposals and developments in their states designed to expand voting rights and increase participation in the electoral process. The panelists have worked on an array of such legislation, including initiatives to block illegal Election Day activities, to implement Election Day Registration, to agree to a National Popular Vote, to restore voting rights to ex-offenders, and to increase the security of electronic voting machines. The panelists discussed real-world models and cutting-edge ideas of how to further the promise of democracy.

The panel featured:


  • The Honorable Terrance D. Carroll, Colorado House of Representatives, District 7


  • The Honorable Jamie Raskin, Maryland State Senate, District 20


  • The Honorable Sandy Rosenberg, Maryland State Representative, District 41


  • Moderator, Jocelyn Friedrichs Benson, Assistant Professor of Law, Wayne State University Law School
