MDCR Spotlight Series: Voting Rights

Join us on Thursday, July 23 for our upcoming Spotlight Series on Voting Rights. This interactive forum will bring together community leaders, advocates, subject matter experts, and residents to explore current voting rights issues, barriers to participation, and how MDCR can support equitable access to the ballot box.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn about voter protections, hear from experts working in the field, and engage in meaningful discussions about how communities can support fair and accessible elections for all.
