Time to Vote: Get Registered, Get Ready
Presented by the League of Women Voters and hosted by the Associated Student Government of Shoreline Community College, the free webinar will walk participants through Washington’s online voter registration process.
It will also explore the ins and outs of deciding who and what to vote for and how to determine which candidates represent their values. Designed for the youthful, first-time voter, the webinar will be useful to any US citizen who wants to be ready to vote in the next election.
The webinar will be held from 10:00-11:00am, Friday, May 29, 2020 via Zoom at https://bit.ly/SCCVoteMay29. No registration is required. Participants simply log in. It is recommended that participants log in a few minutes before the start time.

This is a great idea but I hope they run it again later in the day. My son will be a first time voter but I doubt I can get him to a 10am program. I'll try!
