Montgomery County is stepping up its voter engagement efforts with a planned Telephone Town Hall ahead of the upcoming November 4 municipal election. This event, slated for Thursday at 6 p.m., aims to keep voters informed about the election process and to address any questions they might have. Commissioner Neil Makhija, who chairs the Montgomery County Board of Elections, will be leading the conversation, as per the county's announcement.
Residents won't have to sign up for this event. A call will go out automatically to all registered voters in the county at the appointed time. Those interested in participating can simply stay on the line. However, to make absolutely sure to receive the call, residents can opt to sign up online beforehand. If the call doesn't reach some voters, they have the option to dial in using the number (855)-756-7520 Ext. 127208#.
The deadline to register to vote has just passed, on Monday, and the last day to apply for a mail-in ballot is fast approaching on October 28. During the telephone town hall, the County will provide information on how to apply for and submit a mail-in ballot, the in-person voting process, and a rundown of how election operations and reporting will work, according to the county's press release.
To access more information about the municipal election, including how to check one's voter registration status, polling locations, and to view sample ballots, Montgomery County residents are encouraged to visit the Voter Services website or call 610-278-3280. This resource is designed to help ensure voters are ready to take part in the election and to facilitate a safe, secure, and accessible voting experience.
