Election workers have always been instrumental in our democracy. Every year our community members ensure our elections run smoothly and everyone’s vote is counted. In 2020, our election officials and workers pulled off the most secure election in our history; and they did it amidst a global pandemic and record shortage of poll workers.  

Today, our work of empowering voters and defending democracy is more critical than ever. To ensure we grow the support for elections officials and the election process, the League of Women Voters encourages interested state and local Leagues to host a "No Time to Fail" screening and invite election officials/workers.  

"No Time to Fail" is a documentary that follows Rhode Island election officials as they administer the 2020 election amid a global pandemic. The film gives voice to the experiences of this largely invisible yet completely indispensable workforce at this critical time in our country’s relationship with election management. "No Time to Fail" is an opportunity to galvanize public awareness and support of election administrators, poll workers, and beyond.  

Film followed by panel discussion.

Panelists for discussion:

  Isaac Cramer, Director, Charleston County Board of Elections and Voter Registration
 Conway Belangia, Director, Greenville County Voter Registration and Elections
 Kate Everingham, Charleston County Board of Elections, and LWVCA member
