🗳️ Election Process 101: Curious about what happens behind the scenes during an election? Join us for a welcoming virtual conversation that takes you inside the election process — from voter registration, ballot counting, and audits. In this webinar, we’ll walk through how elections are administered, how ballots are processed, and the safeguards in place to ensure transparency and accountability. This is a space for thoughtful discussion, open dialogue, and answer questions. Whether you’re deeply engaged in civic life or simply want a clearer understanding of how the system operates, this session offers an informative look at the processes that shape our democracy. Come be part of the conversation. Your voice matters. Let’s explore the process together.
