Topics will include voter identification laws, gerrymandering, referendum initiatives, election litigation and campaign finance. Most events will take place in the College of Law courtroom.

Secretary of State Alison Lundergun Grimes will give the keynote address at 9:10 a.m.

The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. A complete schedule can be found here.
