Election Livestreams Aim to Enhance Transparency Amid Scrutiny

Election officials are using livestreams to demystify voting processes and combat misinformation, but challenges remain in public understanding.

Livestreams of the 2024 election process are being used to increase transparency and counter false claims of widespread fraud.
Arizona mandates livestreaming by law, while other states, including Pennsylvania and California, offer it voluntarily in key jurisdictions.
Officials are concerned that viewers unfamiliar with election processes might misinterpret livestream footage, leading to misconceptions.
Efforts are underway to educate viewers, such as adding explanatory signs to help them understand what they see during the livestreams.
Engagement with local election officials and participation as poll workers are encouraged to better understand election safeguards and processes.
