SUMMARY:Untangling the Tally: Barriers to Voting
DESCRIPTION:Untangling the Tally: Take a deep dive into how modern elections work and the various ways citizens engage with this core system of democracy. This series aims to untangle the logistics of elections\, the role of technology and news coverage during elections\, and the challenges faced by electors today to help build trust in their ability to participate in our government with confidence. \nElections have changed through the decades\, but one thing has always remained the same: voting is not easy for everyone. For many eligible voters\, it is actually near impossible. Issues of accessibility\, convenience\, transportation\, time constraints\, and a slew of other complications have always plagued Election Day. And the reasons so many citizens can’t make it to the polls\, or choose not to go at all\, go beyond just physical barriers. \nJoin our panel of experts: Yanidsi Vélez\, Hispanic Federation CT State Director; Steven Hernandez\, Executive Director of the General Assembly’s Commission on Women\, Children and Seniors\, Equity and Opportunity; Doris Maldonado\, CT Council on Developmental Disabilities Chair\, and Joe Goldman\, Civics Teacher\, E.O. Smith High School in Mansfield\, as they discuss the barriers that many citizens face to have their votes counted on Election Day. Moderated by Val Ramos\, Director of Strategic Alliances at Everyday Democracy. \nSpeakers: \nVal Ramos\, Everyday Democracy\, moderator \nYanidsi Vélez\, CT State Director\, Hispanic Federation \nSteven Hernandez\, Executive Director GA’s Commission on Women\, Children and Seniors\, Equity and Opportunity \nDoris Maldonado\, Chair\, CT Council on Developmental Disabilities \n \n \nJoe Goldman\, Civics Teacher\, E.O.
