Convergence Collaborative on Trust in Elections — Final Report

Key Finding

Synthesizes a year-long dialogue among 13 cross-ideological election-administration experts into practical messaging and trust-building tools for election officials — a model of applied bridging methodology.

About this research

This report documents a year-long dialogue convened by the Convergence Center for Policy Resolution among 13 cross-ideological election-administration experts, officials, and communicators, informed by interviews with more than 120 national stakeholders and 26 grassroots workshops run by Braver Angels. It synthesizes that process into practical, field-tested tools for building public trust in elections, including messaging guidance for humanizing election workers and a fillable template local election officials can use to explain post-ballot-cast processes to voters.
