Important Notice regarding Voter Outreach in 2020

Voter Machine Demonstations, will require a minimum attendance of twenty five people that wish to use the machines.

Goal of Outreach
The goal of Voter Outreach is to ensure that all Richland County residents who are eligible to vote are provided with a direct connection to the elections process. Voter Outreach directly interacts with the public through local events and provides services such as registering voters, educating voters about the election process, recruiting poll workers, and demonstrating how to use our voting equipment.
