Women in Elections: Christy McCormick, Chairwoman, U.S. Election Assistance Commission

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) conducted a “Women in Elections” campaign to coincide with Women’s History Month. During the month of March, we interviewed several women at the heart of elections at the Secretary of State and county level, and within academia, and shared their insight about elections on the EAC’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. We are completing our 2019 series by turning the tables and asking a few questions of the series’ interviewer, EAC Chairwoman.

Leadership, Vision, Innovation: Celebrating Women in Elections

A hundred years ago, Congress passed the 19th amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote. It took another year for the States to ratify the amendment, and it radically changed the makeup of our American electorate. Just a month ago, in his State of the Union Address, the President stated to great cheers and chants of “USA! USA!” from both sides of the aisle, that we “have more women serving in Congress than in any time before.”

The Importance of Good (Ballot) Design

While the 2018 Midterm Elections were administrated without issue in the majority of jurisdictions, some voters did experience long lines, malfunctioning voting equipment and flawed ballot design that made it harder for them to vote, or in some cases, prevented them from casting a ballot. So, as election officials prepare for the next election, how can they ensure ballots are designed effectively?
