Elections matter, and history has demonstrated online platforms will find themselves grappling with these challenges whether they want to be or not. The two key questions facing online platforms now, as they stare down the tsunami of global elections heading their way, are: Have they initiated an internal elections integrity program? And if so, how do they ensure the best possible preparation to safeguard democracies globally?

The Integrity Institute launched an elections integrity best practices guide on “Defining and Achieving Success in Elections Integrity.” This latest guide extends the first and provides companies – large or small, established or new-on-the-block – concrete details as they fully implement an elections integrity program.

Today on the podcast, we talk to four contributors about this guide: Glenn Ellingson, Diane Chang, Swapneel Mehta, and Eric Davis.
