Community Conversations: Elections Myth or Fact?
2026-05-18 18:00 - 20:00 | Curitiba Art Cafe, 919 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, 22401
Join the League of Women Voters of the Fredericksburg Area for a public Community Conversation with the Fredericksburg Registrar’s Office
How much do we really know about how elections work?
Join the League of Women Voters of the Fredericksburg Area for a public Community Conversation with the Fredericksburg Registrar’s Office. This discussion-based event will explore common questions, assumptions, and misunderstandings about elections, voting, and election law.
This is not a lecture or a debate. It is an open, welcoming conversation where community members can learn directly from the people who help run our local elections, ask questions, and better understand how the process works.
Whether you vote every election, are newly registered, help others navigate voting, or are just curious about what happens behind the scenes, this conversation is for you.
The best way to understand elections is to talk about them.
