Abstract:

On March 3-4, 2005, approximately 40 people from state and local government, advocacy organizations, academic institutions, the news media and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) gathered for a forum in Chantilly, Virginia, to discuss the 2004 election and the next steps on election reform.

This report captures some of the comments and discussion during the forum. We publish it in the hope that it will bring the forum's content to a wider audience and draw added attention to what America can and must do to deliver on the promise of free and fair elections.
