President Joe Biden will participate in a CNN town hall tonight at the Baltimore Center Stage, where he will take questions from the audience. This will be his first visit to the city as president, and his third town hall since taking office. Attendance is by invitation only, and the network says it will not edit or rewrite questions. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper is moderating, and will be asking his own questions.

The town hall is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM ET and will last for 90 minutes.

The event can be streamed live from the CNN homepage, or via the CNNGo app

ABOUT COMMISSIONER HOVLAND: Benjamin Hovland was confirmed by unanimous consent of the United States Senate on January 2, 2019 to serve on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC). Mr. Hovland's 20-year career in elections has been shaped by his commitment to improving election administration and removing barriers to voting. Most recently, he served as Acting Chief Counsel for the U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, where he focused on the federal government's role in election administration and campaign finance regulation. Earlier in his career, as the Deputy General Counsel for the Missouri Secretary of State's office, he focused on legal issues related to the administration of state and federal elections, including recounts, poll worker training, voter registration list maintenance, statewide database matching, voter education resources and ballot initiative litigation.

ABOUT COMMISSIONER PIPER: Christopher E. "Chris" Piper was appointed Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections in January 2018 by Governor Ralph S. Northam after spending most of his career in elections and governmental ethics. He is currently a Board member of the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED), Vice Chair of the Electronic Registration and Information Center (ERIC), Chair of the Election Assistance Commission's (EAC) Standards Board, an Advisory Board Member of the Election Official Legal Defense Network, and a member of the Bipartisan Policy Center's (BPC) Election Task Force. Chris leads the Department of Elections with a focus on election security and the uniform application of laws, regulations, and policies and defending the integrity of the Commonwealth's elections at a time when the administration of elections in the country is under more scrutiny than ever before.
