Sponsored by the North Carolina Network for Fair, Safe and Secure Elections, the League of Women Voters of North Carolina and Veterans for All Voters, the town hall is one of many events hosted at Elon University during Election 2024.
Elon University will host a nonpartisan election town hall on Sept. 10 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in East Neighborhood Commons Room 102 (The Forum) as part of the N.C. Trusted Elections Tour, a series featuring dozens of events across the state.
The Trusted Elections Tour, sponsored by the North Carolina Network for Fair, Safe and Secure Elections, the League of Women Voters of North Carolina and Veterans for All Voters, aims to provide information on the electoral process, build trust in the voting system and build support for peaceful political engagement. Each 90-minute town hall will include cybersecurity experts, election officials and election law attorneys from both sides of the aisle.
The event at Elon will be hosted by attorney and former North Carolina House Representative Skip Stam. The panel will feature former Alamance County Elections Director Kathy Holland, former Orange County Board of Elections member Shawnee Seese, Guilford County Board of Elections member Carolyn Bunker, cyber security expert Brad Reaves and election law expert Bob Edmunds.
“We have found that when voters hear current information from their local election professionals, their confidence in our elections system increases,” said Jennifer Roberts, co-lead of the North Carolina Network for Fair, Safe and Secure Elections.
The event is free, but registration is requested here.
