As the United States and countries across the Americas engage in another critical cycle of elections, familiar falsehoods about fraud in elections and voting are resurfacing. These narratives popped up in elections in Colombia and Peru, and are once again picking up steam in the U.S. and Brazil.
With the 2026 U.S. midterm elections just over 100 days away and President Trump claiming the 2020 election was "rigged" despite years of court rulings, recounts, and investigations finding no evidence of such, join us on Tuesday, July 21, at 12:00 p.m. ET as we go through best practices for communicating about elections and voting in a time of deep distrust and skepticism.

Together, we'll explore:
How election fraud narratives have evolved and been adapted to local political contexts while following many of the same old patterns.
The common playbook behind election denialism, and the transnational networks that reinforce these claims.
What researchers, journalists, policymakers, and civil society can do to prebunk these narratives before they take hold.
Lessons from across the Americas that can help strengthen democratic resilience ahead of upcoming elections.
