Meeting 3 (3rd Floor)Basic civic literacy information for new voters.
A healthy democracy depends on people knowing how their government operates and where to find reliable, fact-based information about elections. This program for first-time voters will cover basic information like:
- What is civic literacy and why is it important?
- How to access trustworthy information during elections.
- How to verify that the information you do find is true.
- How voting works in Oregon, including:
- What a ballot looks like and how to fill it out properly.
- What a Voters' Pamphlet is and how to fact-check the information presented in one.
There will be time at the end for questions and information about how to register to vote if you have not done so already.
