Episode 314: Talking Elections and Voting Systems

from Talk Policy To Me Hosted by UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy and the Berkeley Institute for the Future of Young Americans

Welcome to the first episode in TPTM's brand new series on Democracy! Do you ever wonder why our voting and election systems work the way they do? Has anyone ever preached to you the virtues (or evils) of rank choice voting, blockchain, or eliminating the electoral college? Then tune in to the lastest TPTM episode where Colleen (MPP '21) sits down with elections-policy experts and fellow Goldman students Rachel Wallace (MPP'20) and Ben Raderstorf (MPP '20) to break down the "hows" and "whys" of our voting systems. Listen in as they chat about the values we embrace when designing our elections, break down a bunch of elections-policy proposals, and argue why we should care about any of this in the first place. Be sure to keep your eye out for upcoming episodes in our Democracy series. We'll be talking about the upcoming election in the era of COVID-19 and trying to answer the pressing questions that arise given this unprecedented context.
