Know Your Voting Rights in 2008

 

Concerned about voting in November?  Want your vote accurately cast and counted?  If the answer is yes, please join us for an open-to-the-public community meeting.   A panel of national voting rights experts along with key local leaders will discuss the issues followed by a time for audience questions.  Focused on who can vote in South Carolina and how to do so, specific topics will include voting by provisional ballot, voter intimidation, student voting, voting by people with disabilities, and voting by people with past criminal convictions.  

 

This event is sponsored by the American Civil Liberties Union and supported by a coalition of concerned local and state organizations including the League of Women Voters, SC Pride, YWCA of Greenville, SC Progressive Network, Alliance for Full Acceptance, the Center for Women, and the Coalition for New South Carolinians.
