Overview

May 18

With the recent passing of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act or CARES Act, election officials across the country have new funding available to secure and modernize their election processes. In addition to election security, one of the biggest gaps has been in modernizing the overall election management process – from automated campaign finance reports and poll worker management tools to the asset management of the voting machines themselves. Join us May 18 at 11am PST/2pm EST for a rapid 30-minute webinar that breaks down how to modernize the election management process and what new funding is available to help you do so.

Specifically, you’ll learn:
• How to increase productivity and adaptability in your election management.
• How election management systems can be used to modernize legacy election processes.
• Funding opportunities for election management modernization.

Dustin Haisler — Moderator

Chief Innovation Officer, e.Republic

Dustin Haisler is the Chief Innovation Officer for e.Republic. As the finance director and later CIO for Manor, TX, a small city outside Austin, Haisler quickly built a track record and reputation as an early innovator in civic tech. A member of Code for America’s original steering committee, Haisler pioneered government use of commercial technologies not before used in the public sector – including Quick-Response (QR) barcodes, crowdsourcing and gamification. In 2010 Haisler launched Manor Labs, a website that let residents submit their own ideas and vote other peoples’ ideas up or down. The most popular suggestions went to city officials for review and possible implementation. Haisler looked to the private sector to help broaden the adoption of these and other civic innovations, joining California-based Spigit as director of government innovation.
