Join us for the Election Cybersecurity Summit: Protecting Democracy in a Shifting Landscape, an event hosted by the Brennan Center for Justice, Common Cause New York, the New York City Bar Association’s Election Law Committee, and the UC Berkeley Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity and featuring Sen. Kristen Gonzalez, chair of the New York State Senate’s Elections Committee. The Election Cybersecurity Summit will bring together state and local officials, technologists, and civic leaders for a nonpartisan discussion about the urgent threats facing our election infrastructure.  

New York is set to play a critical role as an electoral battleground in 2026. This event will focus on innovative state and local solutions to national cybersecurity challenges and emphasize collaboration across agencies, sectors, and political lines. Participants will explore how New York can build resilient, replicable models for election security in the absence of strong federal support, counter the politicization of cybersecurity, and engage nonpartisan experts and corporate partners. This summit will be an essential conversation for all who believe in protecting democracy through proactive and united effort.
