Event Details

How does the Suffolk County government work? How does it differ from our federal and state governments? With Election Day coming up, this program will analyze the results on the last election, and see how and why our community voted the way that they did. We will discuss how a bill becomes a law, how you can get involved, and speak out on local issues. Since it is also Voter Registration Day, we will hand out registration forms and encourage folks to vote in the upcoming election! This program will be educational/nonpartisan, and is open to adults and teens. Students will receive 1 hour of community service for attending.
