Managing voter registration lists is often one of the hardest parts of running an election. As voters move, die, age into the system, or experience other changes in eligibility, such as citizenship status or incarceration, keeping those lists up to date requires careful attention and accurate data sources. Tune in for the second installment of NCSL’s four-part webinar series, How U.S. Elections Are Run, to learn more about how states keep these lists accurate, and why regular list maintenance processes, along with providing opportunities for voters to update and maintain their registration in accordance with federal and state laws, are important with EAC Commissioner Benjamin Hovland.

Older adults and people with disabilities often prefer to receive long-term care at home or in their communities, which is also more cost-effective for states. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provided states with a temporary increase in federal funding to improve care and support workforce for Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS). States are leveraging ARPA funds to enhance HCBS in several ways, including improving infrastructure, addressing waiver wait lists, investing in the direct care workforce, improving access to telehealth, and addressing social drivers of health. This webinar will explore state strategies to support HCBS through ARPA spending plans. 

Extended drought in many states and increased pressures on water resources have resulted in competing demands and concerns for future water availability. As an important water user, the agricultural sector can play a key role as water stewards and can benefit from resilient practices. This webinar will explore innovative agricultural practices and other policy options that states are considering in the face of water scarcity.
