Recent work includes safeguarding election integrity in the United States, the UK, Germany, Canada, France, Kenya, Australia, Ireland and Poland. Our work informs capacity-building efforts for civil society, briefings for national, state and local authorities, and expert testimony for federal committees on threats to democratic processes.
