Frankfort, Kentucky (September 6, 2024) – Recently, Representative Josh Branscum was nominated by House Speaker David Osborne to attend a meeting on elections hosted by the National Conference of State Legislatures in conjunction with the National Association of Secretaries of State.
The meeting will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the beginning of January. Lawmakers and secretaries of state from across the country will have the opportunity to share lessons learned from the 2024 election cycle, discuss future election-related policy initiatives, and tour the local election office.
“I am honored to be nominated to attend NCSL’s and NASS’ meeting regarding elections,” said Rep. Branscum. “I look forward to coming together with elected leaders from other states to examine lessons learned from the 2024 election cycle and discuss election-related policies we, as lawmakers, can implement in the future to improve the election process.”
As a legislator, Representative Branscum successfully sponsored HB 574 in 2021, an election reform bill that included additional in-person voting days, protections for poll workers, and codified language preventing voting machines from connecting to the internet. Before serving as a member of the Kentucky House, he chaired the Kentucky State Board of Elections.
“Very few understand the election process as Rep. Branscum does, and I appreciate his willingness to represent our Commonwealth on this panel,” said House Speaker David Osborne. “His leadership on the issue will ensure we can continue to strengthen election integrity on both the state and national level.”
