Did you know that only 27% of registered Montgomery County voters participated in the 2022 primary election? This month’s League of Women Voters of Montgomery County free Trending Topics webinar will investigate voter turnout trends in primary elections. We’ll discuss who is not showing up, what can be done to address barriers, and why primary participation matters to our democracy.

Panelists include:

Sam Novey, Chief Strategist at the Center for Democracy and Civic Participation, University of Maryland

Ralph Watkins, Co-chair of the LWVMC’s Making Democracy Work Committee,

Dr. Gilberto Zelaya, Montgomery County Board of Elections Community Empowerment/Public Information Officer
