The Carter Center’s Work to Protect the Democratic Electoral Process: the 2024 U.S. Election

Since 1989, The Carter Center has observed 115 elections in 40 countries. In that time, the Center has seen firsthand that public information and transparency—the ability of citizens to “see into” and understand the legal and administrative mechanics of the election—are key to bolstering trust. Carter Center Chief Executive Officer Paige Alexander will share lessons learned from The Carter Center’s more than 30 years in election monitoring and explain how they will bring that experience to bear in the run-up to the 2024 election. She will also share more details about The Carter Center’s work to strengthen trust in the U.S. electoral process by providing information to voters, encouraging the U.S. to meet international election standards, promoting nonpartisan citizen observation, and working to mitigate possible electoral violence.
