On November 1st, 2024, SAAPRI presented the last event in our GOTV Event Series: “Protect Your Vote: Navigating Election Challenges,” co-hosted by The North American South Asian Law Students Association (NASALSA) and South Asian Legal Defense Fund (SALDF).
With the 2024 Presidential Election around the corner, learning to protect our vote and combat misinformation and disinformation was more crucial than ever. We discussed how election disinformation can undermine the electoral process by spreading false information about voting procedures, leading to confusion and decreased voter participation. We will also explored election protection initiatives that ensure every voter can exercise their right to vote safely and securely, with access to resources like hotlines and poll workers at polling places.
This is a non-partisan space where one can freely express their thoughts, learn from others, and feel empowered to participate in the 2024 Election. We invite you all to join us in discussing how we can work together to ensure that elections are fair, transparent, and free from manipulation.
