Voter Redistricting Education Forum

Community Organizations Partner to provide Vote Forward Education

The alumnae chapters of Prince William County and Loudoun County Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. along with the League of Women Voters, Jack and Jill, NAACP, and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Iota Epsilon Sigma will host a virtual forum on redistricting for Prince William and Loudoun County residents. On Saturday, May 21 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. via Zoom, voters and members of the community will have an opportunity to learn how redistricting may affect their vote, their polling place, their congressional and local representation and more. There will also be time for questions from attendees.

The objective of the partners is to provide information to voters about redistricting and how they may be affected in the upcoming elections with new precincts and polling locations and new representation. As well, all voters (long time, new and potential voters) will learn about voting resources, new laws and other voter related topics to help them move forward and be prepared for the upcoming elections.

The Honorable Margaret Franklin, Prince William Board of County Supervisors will be the moderator and the forum panel includes:
