The League of Women Voters of Lawrence Township is set to present Storming for the Vote: Hurricane Sandy and the Election.
The 20-minute documentary, sponsored and produced by the League of Women Voters of New Jersey, is about Hurricane Sandy’s impact on the 2012 presidential election.
Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello is set to attend the event and join in on the post-screening discussion.
Storming for the Vote: Hurricane Sandy and the Election is a documentary film about advocates, government officials, and an energized and motivated public whose efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy ensured that citizens displaced or disrupted by the storm were able to exercise their right to vote.
“The film highlights the resilience and determination of New Jersey voters. When faced with unthinkable obstacles, they refused to give up their voice in the voting booth and, with the help of the League, election officials, the State, voting rights experts, and a number of other volunteers, cast their ballots,” president of the Lawrence League, Sue Varga, said in a statement.
The screening is scheduled for 7 p.m. Dec. 4 at Lawrence Library, 2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville.
Refreshments will be served.
Registration is suggested but not required. To register, call the library at (609) 989-6920 or email lawprogs@mcl.org.
