ERN's Kevin Johnson Discusses Nonpartisan Clerk Elections on Sutherland Institute Podcast

ERN Executive Director Kevin Johnson recently sat down with the Sutherland Institute, a Utah-based conservative think tank, to discuss one of the most important questions in election governance: should the officials who run our elections be chosen in partisan elections?

The conversation on the Institute's Defending Ideas podcast explores why election administration requires neutrality, the advantages of nonpartisan election of county clerks, and Utah's emerging leadership in reducing conflicts of interest in election governance.

As Johnson notes:

"There is no Republican policy or Democratic policy about implementing the law...What we need is neutrality."
