Replacing Boone County’s Voting Equipment
Replacing Boone County’s Voting Equipment
Tuesday, March 19, 2019
12:00 Noon
Lunch & Learn
Columbia Public Library Friends Room
Guest Speaker:
Brianna Lennon, Boone County Clerk
Boone County’s current voting equipment is over twelve years old and is in need of replacing. Voting equipment is a critical part of elections administration and a huge long-term investment, so it is important that voters, poll workers, civic organizations, and disability advocates are all a part of the conversation.
Prior to her election as County Clerk, Brianna served as an Assistant Attorney General in the Consumer Protection Division of the Missouri Attorney General’s Office before joining the Missouri Secretary of State’s office as Deputy Director of Elections and first coordinator of the Election Integrity Unit.
This event is free and open to the public.
Attendees are welcome to bring their lunch or purchase snacks at the library kiosk.
