Voter-Centered Election Administration: Navigating Disinformation, Polarization, and the Dynamics that Drive Voter Participation

Thu, September 19, 2024
Dinner Program
Dean Logan

We all know it's election season -- but how do you actually design and run a modern election? Dean Logan, Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk and recognized national leader in election administration will reflect on administering elections in the largest, most diverse jurisdiction in the United States -- how Los Angeles County developed and implemented a publicly-owned voting system, and designed a voting model focused on a meaningful, accessible voting experience.
 

Dean Logan is the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk for Los Angeles County, California -- the nation’s largest, most diverse local election jurisdiction serving more than 5.7 million registered voters. In addition to election administration, his office records real property documents; maintains vital records; performs civil marriage ceremonies; and processes business filings.

He holds degrees in Organizational Leadership from Azusa Pacific University and a Master of Public Administration from the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington.

Mr. Logan is currently President of the County Recorders Association of California, past-President of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials and serves on the Board of Directors for the National Election Center. Additionally, he is Vice President for the United States on the Board for the American Conference of Subnational Electoral Organizations for Electoral Transparency (CAOESTE).

Mr. Logan sits on Advisory Boards for the Electoral Psychology Observatory at the London School of Economics, the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, Auburn University’s Graduate Certificate in Election Administration, University of California Riverside’s Design Thinking Executive Program, and the California State University, Northridge Master of Public Administration Program where he teaches courses on Organizational Leadership, Public Sector Management, Intergovernmental Relations, and Strategic Management.

Mr. Logan's Athenaeum presentation is co-sponsored by the Kravis Lab for Civic Leadership and the Rose Institute for State and Local Government at CMC.
