As part of the International Foundation for Electoral Systems’ (IFES) ongoing commitment to adaptation, innovation and resilience in the wake of COVID-19, the 2020 U.S. Election Program (USEP) is going virtual!

While the IFES USEP traditionally gathers hundreds of elections and democracy experts from dozens of countries to witness the elections in person in the U.S., our priority is the health and well-being of everyone involved. So, this year, IFES will bring together more partners than ever before for a front-row seat to the 2020 U.S. elections – online.

IFES’ reimagined USEP will offer you and other participants from around the world a unique window into the election with engaging virtual programming to include live online events, on-demand videos and social media featuring fascinating interviews, dynamic debates, critical analysis, shared learning and networking opportunities.

Live online events will take place from October 27 to November 4 with live interpretation and closed captions in six languages: Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, English, French, Russian and Spanish! You can participate in as many live events as you choose—or you can watch later. Recordings will be made available to registrants during the Virtual USEP.
