HOW TO WIN AN ELECTION: GET OUT THE VOTE (in NYC w/Livestream)

This Show: Get out the vote

Voter turnout in the US continues to be depressingly low. Why don’t more Americans vote, and what can we do to change this? From deeper, structural changes to daily nudges and behaviors, we’ll synthesize decades of excellent research on what motivates people to vote, what the barriers are, and how we can overcome as many as possible between now and November 5.

About the series:

The stakes couldn’t be higher for the upcoming US election, and this means it’s time to pull together the very best research out there on how each of us can make the biggest impact on the outcome. Join political and data scientist Andrea Jones-Rooy, Ph.D., and a team of all-star expert guests for a very special five-show limited series that shares the latest and greatest science on what individual people can do to help their candidates win an election.

Each of the five shows tackles different ways we can each impact elections, including how to:

Get out the vote (Oct. 6, 2:30p)
Make sense of polls (Oct. 13, 2:30p)
Change someone’s mind (Oct. 16, 9:30p)
Defeat misinformation (Oct. 30, 9:30p (special spooky time!))
Handle whatever it is we are freaking out about by now (Nov. 3, 2:30p)

For each show, you can expect a presentation of the latest scientific findings on what works and what doesn’t in host AJR’s sought-after engaging style, followed by guest presentations from experts and activists, a panel discussion, and resources to get involved. You’ll leave each show with concrete ideas about next steps you can take to make a difference.

Come to one show, come to whichever topics speak to you, or come to them all! Our democracy needs you!
