The West Windsor Library has partnered with the Princeton Area League of Women Voters to host two voter education events this fall.
These free events are open to both adults and teens: new, experienced, and future voters are all welcome. On Wednesday Sept. 25, 6:30-7:30 p.m., “How To Vote: Rules of the Road” will present a complete introduction to the mechanics of voting—especially helpful to new voters, but given the early voting and mail-in options, there is something for everyone.
Be sure to come if you have recently turned 18, are newly naturalized, recently moved, or curious about your voting status or voting options.
On Tuesday Oct. 29, 6:30-7:30 p.m., “Vote By Design” will guide participants through a nonpartisan, issue-agnostic process for selecting candidates whose values and priorities support their own. The session will consider what qualities we look for in our leaders and what influences informed voting.
“The voting process has changed over the years, so come for an update and leave with a voting plan,” said Jean Nitzberg, president of the League of Women Voters Greater Princeton Area Chapter and one of three presenters of the programs.
“The right to vote is an incredible privilege we enjoy as American citizens,” said Mercer County Executive Dan Benson “but many still face challenges or questions that prevent them from voting. Through this program, we’re providing our residents with the tools they need to make their voices heard this November and for years to come.”
Both events will take place at the West Windsor Branch of the Mercer County Library System, 333 North Post Road, Princeton Junction. For more information about the library and its programs please call 609-275-8901 or visit www.mcl.org.
