December Public Affairs Webinar Turnout: Making Minnesota the State That Votes
Join us Friday, December 4, 2020, from 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM for our final Public Affairs Webinar of the year. After the 2020 General Election, conversations regarding elections and voter turnout will be discussed. Please join us as we hear from Joan Anderson Growe and Lori Sturdevant, authors of "Turnout: Making Minnesota the State That Votes"
High voter turnout in Minnesota is no accident. It arose from the traditions of this state's early Yankee and northern European immigrants, and wisely chosen election policies have sustained it. Many of these policies were designed and implemented during the twenty-four-year tenure of Minnesota Secretary of State Joan Anderson Growe. Part of political history and part memoir is a reminder to Minnesotans to cherish and protect their tradition of clean, open elections.
