The public is invited to share any problems they encountered while registering or voting in the recent election in front of a panel of county election officials, council members, legislators and voting rights advocates. Data collected at the forums will be used to help shape voting reforms so that future elections will run more smoothly. Speakers will be allotted three minutes each. For more information, call the SC Progressive Network at 803-808-3384 or e-mail network@scpronet.com.
