2026 Cleveland Election Integrity Summit | TFAD x Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association

In partnership with the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association, the Task Force for American Democracy hosted a Cleveland Election Integrity Summit, bringing together nationally recognized legal leaders, election officials, academics, media voices, and civic organizations for an important nonpartisan conversation about protecting public trust in democratic institutions and free and fair elections. The summit featured a keynote address from Task Force Co-Chair Judge J. Michael Luttig, remarks from Task Force member and former Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, and a slate of panel discussions focused on election integrity, civic trust, the rule of law, media and public confidence, and the role of lawyers and community leaders in strengthening democracy at the local and national levels. Designed for attorneys, students, educators, civic leaders, nonprofit professionals, and members of the public alike, the program aims to foster constructive dialogue, encourage civic engagement, and reinforce the importance of democratic institutions within our communities.
