Dorothy Hummel, Executive Director of YWCA of Alton, states that “leaders we elect today make decisions that affect our lives in the future. Attending a voter forum is an excellent way to educate yourself before casting your ballot in November. Please join us at Haskell Park in a safe setting to hear from various Madison County candidates and prepare yourself before voting this fall.”

The event will follow state guidelines in effect at that time with regard to crowd size, with social distancing enforced. It is anticipated that people will be able to hear the questions & answers from Henry Street and 12th Street as well.
