Attention voters, activists, elections officials and all with a stake in
Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington elections! We invite you to come out
to the University of Washington School of Law to hear about the state of
voting in the region and share your voting experiences. The hearing is free,
nonpartisan, and open to the public! There will be four panels of witnesses
testifying on topics such as voting discrimination, registration and polling
place problems, access for voters with disabilities and language minorities,
and more.

This hearing is part of a series of fact-finding hearings hosted by the
National Commission on Voting Rights that are taking place across the
country. The goal of these hearings is to learn more about the current
landscape of elections. Over the past few years, numerous states have
enacted restrictive voting laws, while many others continue to grapple with
recurring election administration and electoral reform challenges. The
Commission will document what keeps voters from the ballot box and election
reform efforts that expand access.

We want to hear from you! The public can participate by providing oral
testimony during the hearing's public comment periods and by submitting
written testimony before the hearing by email to
<mailto:NCVR at lawyerscommittee.org> NCVR at lawyerscommittee.org.

RSVP is strongly encouraged, but not required. RSVP
