ENCORE SESSION: Future of Democracy: How Tech Will Shape Elections

Mar 12, 2022

11:30am – 12:30pm CT

The world is not ready for the coming electoral tsunami. In 2022, there are elections in France, Kenya, Australia, Brazil, the Philippines, and the United States. In 2024, the United States, India, Indonesia, Ukraine, Taiwan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the European Parliament will go to the polls. Never before have all these countries held national level elections in the same year. How tech platforms decide to direct their resources, adapt their policies and enforce their rules will determine if democracy continues to backslide or starts to recover.
