COCONINO COUNTY — The Coconino County African Diaspora Advisory Council (ADAC) is hosting a free, virtual Democracy in Action Voter Town Hall this Monday, October 19 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The Coconino County African Diaspora Advisory Council (ADAC) is hosting a free, virtual Democracy in Action Voter Town Hall this Monday, October 19 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Town Hall will feature Coconino County Recorder Patty Hansen presenting on the elections calendar, voting options and procedures, what documents are required to vote and other resources for residents of Coconino County. The event is not a candidate debate but rather an opportunity for residents to learn about safeguards to ensure their right to vote and the voting process is secure.

“Democracy in Action means exercising our rights, and voting is a right that we must exercise,” Breyaunna Smith, Chair of the African Diaspora Advisory Council stated. “At this town hall, we look forward to providing information that voters need, and we hope all residents of the County will join us.”

The event is free and open to the public and will feature contests and prizes for those who join.
