The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) is seeking a Fellow with policy, research, and/or legal expertise to advance our elections and democracy work. As part of CDT’s Elections and Democracy team, the Fellow will work on key issues such as election-related mis- and disinformation, online voter suppression, and election security and administration, including in conjunction with election officials, online platforms, legislators, and other stakeholders.
CDT has worked for almost a decade to improve the security and accessibility of America’s election systems, recently expanding our work to address the crisis of trust in American democracy precipitated by the onslaught of disinformation about how elections are administered. Disinformation and misinformation have also been used to suppress voter participation, particularly targeting communities of color. The democratizing power of the internet creates new opportunities — but also new threats — to support fair, informed, and trustworthy elections. We engage with these issues from both technical and policy-minded perspectives, creating solutions-oriented policy resources and actionable guidance for companies and election officials alike.
The Elections and Democracy Fellow will contribute to the organization’s work across these issues, particularly focusing on threats to the online information environment. The position requires a combination of research and advocacy skills to respond to emerging issues.

Engaging directly with technology companies to develop best practices and policy recommendations.
Serving as a resource to federal and state governments and political campaigns as they enact new policies and practices on the use of generative AI in political advertising and campaigning.
Coordinating advocacy efforts with other civil society organizations that have a shared interest in elections and democracy and the online information environment.
Assisting with tracking and analyzing federal and state proposals to regulate generative AI and other elections-related legislation.
Convening and engaging with technical experts, election vendors, election officials, voting and democracy advocates, academics and other stakeholders working on issues within the project’s scope.
Supporting research, preparation, and operationalization of trainings for election officials and other stakeholders.
Collaborating with CDT’s teams focused on free expression/online platform governance; technology & disability rights; AI governance, and consumer privacy; as well as CDT’s Research team and non-resident Research Fellows.
QualificationsNo specific degree is required. However, a competitive candidate will have at least 5 years of relevant professional or academic experience.
One or more of the following areas of expertise:
Election technology and/or election administration;
Efforts to combat election-related mis- and disinformation and online voter suppression
Developing and/or implementing elections-related policies in a trust and safety role
Demonstrated research and/or applied experience in the form of publications, government documents, presentations, frameworks, or other outputs.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills;
An ability to work diplomatically with people from various stakeholder communities;
Experience in formal or informal project management;
Possession of superb writing skills for a variety of audiences;
The ability to communicate easily with lay people about complex topics; and
An energetic, entrepreneurial, and collaborative working style.
This is a one-year full-time Fellowship, with the possibility of extending or transitioning to a permanent role at CDT after the fellowship based on performance, the organization’s needs, and availability of funds.About CDT
The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that fights to advance civil rights and civil liberties in the digital age. We champion policies, laws, and technical designs that empower people to use technology for good, while protecting against invasive, discriminatory, and exploitative uses.

Senior Counsel, Voting Rights ProgramEmployer: The Brennan CenterLocation: New York, NYCategory: Counsel
The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve the systems of democracy and justice in the United States. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. The Brennan Center’s work ranges from voting rights to census protection, from ending mass incarceration to preserving constitutional protections in the fight against terrorism. Part think tank, part legal advocacy group, and part communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them—in the courts, in Congress and the states, and the court of public opinion.
Position
The Brennan Center’s Voting Rights Program seeks a talented attorney to join our team working to build a robust, participatory, and inclusive democracy. Reporting to the Director of the Voting Rights Program, the attorney’s focus will be to combat voter suppression and advance pro-voter reforms at the state and federal levels.Our Voting Rights Program advocates for free, fair, and accessible elections, with special focus on the ways systemic barriers impede electoral participation by communities of color. The past ten years have seen a renewed brazen and widespread assault on the right to vote. Elected officials at the highest levels have deployed disinformation and misinformation to scapegoat communities trying to assert their rightful place in the electorate. And the Capitol attack made plain that some are even prepared to reject the use of elections as the arena to contest political differences. We meet these challenges, and others, head on. We do so with partners ranging from community-based organizations to election administrators to pro bono counsel.
The Brennan Center’s methods include legal and empirical research and writing, litigation, legislative and policy advocacy, media and communications, and public education.

Write and speak for a general, non-legal audience, including speaking with news media, occasional opinion pieces, and public appearances.
Contribute to team administration, including recruitment and hiring, and work with communications and development professionals.
Supervise and mentor attorneys, legal interns, and/or program associates.
