Well it is 2020! Misinformation is rampant about the election process so we have gone to our local expert. Chad Gray is the Administrator of Elections for Williamson County. He will be available online to provide information about the absentee voting process and answer any questions from our community about voting in Williamson County in the upcoming election.
We’re delighted to offer this program online via Zoom so you can safely participate at home. The day before the event we’ll send a link so you can join on your phone, tablet or computer. Check your email when registering so you’ll be sure to get the link.
