Location
Zoom

Join us for the third installment in a three-part "Learn with the League" series on the difficulties voters can experience due to physical limitations, language, and other issues. Come hear a panel of advocates explore and describe barriers to voting for those aged 18-29 at the online program, "Equity and Accessibility in Voting: Barriers for Young Voters," on Tuesday, October 26, 7:00pm - 8:00pm.

As Minnesota’s population grows, the state is becoming more diverse. According to the Center for Information and Research on Civil Learning and Engagement, in the 2020 Election, 65% of Minnesotans aged 18-29 voted. That is up from 2016. Nationally, 52-55% of 18-29 year old voters voted in 2020. For the third of this three-part series, LWVSP welcomes panelists Professor Paul Goren, Chair of the Department of Political Science at the U of M College of Liberal Arts, and voters Jordan Hartman and Grace Reardon.

In the interest of public health and safety, this will be a virtual event. The event will be available via Zoom and also will be shown on LWVSP's Facebook page. Interested participants can register on Zoo m

This is the final program in LWVSP's "Equity and Accessibility in Voting" series. Access to the first two programs in the series is available on the League's website.
