The Dallas Morning News and Texas Metro News are hosting Know About It/Vote About It, a virtual town hall Thursday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. to answer voters’ questions ahead of the Nov. 3 elections.
The event is free, but space is limited. Participants will receive a digital guide to voting, and anyone who’s not a Dallas Morning News subscriber will receive one free month of digital access after the event.
“When you consider changes in the election process, misinformation and the current climate of social unrest and COVID-19, it is even more imperative that we have an informed electorate," Texas Metro News publisher Cheryl Smith said. "This year more than four million Americans became eligible to vote, and we hope to reach as many as possible along with other potential voters who have felt disenfranchised or disconnected.”
Reporters Nic Garcia of The Dallas Morning News and Ashley Moss of Texas Metro News will moderate.
“As a new Texan who is learning how to vote for the first time here myself, I’m excited to bring together the best group of experts we could hope for to provide accurate and timely information," Garcia said. "We know the 2020 election is going to be a generational event, and we’re excited to help inform North Texans through this dizzying time.”
Featured speakers include:
- Dallas County Commissioner J.J. Koch
- Tarrant County elections administrator Heider Garcia
- Voting rights activist Eric Cedillo
- Dallas Morning News political reporter James Barragan
