EIN’s National Working Groups are working coalitions of individuals, grassroots advocates and organizational representatives from around the country that provide education and collaboration by addressing specific policy or procedural issues in the election process.
Calls include guest presentations by national and state subject matter experts, an exchange of research and collateral materials, and interactive participation of attendees. (Links as of 2/27/2023)
