Madison County Secretary of State Town Meeting on Elections

Secretary of State Allison Lundergan Grimes has been conducting a series of town meetings to gather input on election laws and practices. 

The format of the input meetings is fairly straightforward. It's a 60 minute discussion facilitated by the Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. There is some context at the beginning and some recognition of county clerks' office representatives. 

But mostly, the event is focused on a series of questions like "What are your thoughts about our current voter registration process?" "18 states offer online voter registration. Should we try to move in that direction?" "What is your election day experience like?" and "32 states allow early voting. Should we allow no-excuse early voting in Kentucky too?"

After a few people raise their hands and give thoughts, the conversation moves on to the next question.

So KFTC members and friends who come are encouraged to think about the points they'd like to make before they arrive so you can beready to raise your hand right away.

It would also be valuable to really root your input in values and stories and make it personal. This earlier blog entry can help you think through that and make a more compelling statement.

If you have any questions about the event or need to arrange a ride, please contact Beth Bissmeyer at [email protected] or (859) 314-2044.
