With public sentiment for elections at a low point in the nation’s history, the League of Women Voters of Door County hopes a presentation being hosted this weekend will at least change your mind about what is being done locally.

According to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, only 44 percent of Americans have “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence that the votes in the next presidential election will be counted accurately. Depending on your political leanings, a big reason is how the 2020 Presidential Election was handled. The results were subject to reviews, audits, recounts, and court cases across the country, all of which could not find enough evidence to overturn the results. Several state legislatures, including Wisconsin, introduced measures banning or restricting some practices related to absentee voting.

At Saturday’s session, Door County Clerk Jill Lau and Town of Egg Harbor Clerk/Treasurer Pam Krauel will take attendees through the entire election process and show what they do to ensure they are secure and accurate. With a series of big elections in 2024, LWV of Door County President Susan Kohout says it is essential for people to hear and see local clerks' hard work to ensure your vote counts.

The presentation, including a question and answer session, will occur at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor on November 18th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
