In addition, voting machines will be used for hands-on demonstrations and lunch will be served.
Both registered voters and those who wish to register can benefit from this program. Upcoming elections include the June 5 Primary and the November 6 General Election, which will for the first time also include the school board election. Ballot choices in 2012 will range from the President of the United States to City Council seats. Make sure you are an informed voter!
