Election Matters seminar series, back for 2026, hosted by Stafford Rosenbaum LLP
Sponsored in its entirety by Stafford Rosenbaum, Election Matters 2026 is a series of free seminars hosted by the Elections Research Center and State Democracy Research Initiative (SDRI) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The educational series will bring together diverse experts to tackle evolving election-related issues.
Join us for “Year in Review: Democracy Litigation in SCOTUS and the States” on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, from 3:00-4:15pm Central, with a reception to follow. This event will take place in the Community Room at the Madison Central Library (201 W Mifflin St), with the option to attend virtually. The Election Matters panel will serve as a case law year in review, highlighting significant democracy-related decisions at both the state and federal levels. Panelists will include Special Counsel Amit Agarwal of Protect Democracy, Chief Counsel Christina Bull Arndt of the California Department of Justice, Attorney Julie Murray of the ACLU State Supreme Court Initiative, and former U.S. Solicitor General Don Verrilli, with SDRI faculty co-director Rob Yablon moderating.
Past Election Matters 2026 seminars have included “Election Matters 2026: The Battle Over Mid-Decade Redistricting,” presented on March 6. This discussion included an update on mid-2020s redistricting efforts and recent developments within the context of broader legal debates about gerrymandering. The panelists included Michael Li (Brennan Center for Justice), Sara Sadhwani (Pomona College), and Nicholas Stephanopoulos (Harvard Law School), with SDRI faculty co-director Rob Yablon moderating.
