Russell Branch
Monday, November 3 from 6:30 to 7:30 pm
No cost. In English

Join us for a thought-provoking evening with author Jane Cooper, as she discusses topics from her book, What Ukrainian Elections Taught Me About Democracy. In this interview-style event, Jane will share insights from her work as an international election observer and dive into timely topics, including:

The role of international election observers and how it compares with election observation in Canada
What observers look for at each stage of an election—and what they might miss
How observation reports can counter disinformation (and why that’s not always enough)
Why becoming an election observer or scrutineer could be a powerful way for young people—and citizens of all ages—to engage in democracy

Audience questions are welcome, so come curious and ready to join the conversation!
