Join Us at USEP 2024!

We invite you to participate in our 2024 U.S. Election Program, to take place Sunday, November 3, through Wednesday, November 6, 2024 in Washington, D.C., USA. The program will feature… 

• An engaging conference agenda filled with election insights from top U.S. government officials, an exciting election night watch party to take in the results in real-time, and a post-election analysis featuring reactions from leading Washington political insiders.    

• The Election Day polling tour, which will take participants to polling stations in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia to see Americans casting their ballots and witness American democracy in action!  

• Multiple networking opportunities for participants to build relationships with election experts, administrators, and democracy supporters from around the world – one of the largest gatherings of its kind.  

On November 5, 2024, Americans will cast ballots for president and vice president, and to determine who will control the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate. Thirteen state and territorial governorships and numerous other state and local elections will also be at stake. 

Since 1992, IFES has convened global partners in Washington, D.C. to observe and learn about the U.S. Presidential Elections firsthand. This flagship event brings together election officials and thought leaders from around the world to observe and learn about the U.S. electoral system, and discuss elections and voting from comparative perspectives. The 2016 U.S. Election Program (our last in-person program) featured 550 participants from 90 countries.
