Ballot Issues Research Workshop

Questions about local or down-ballot issues?

University Libraries is hosting a drop-in Ballot Research Workshop on Friday, Oct. 23, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in Norlin Library, E303, where qualified government information librarians can help you research and understand the questions you’re being asked to vote on using credible, nonpartisan sources. Students, faculty, staff and community members can attend the full workshop or drop in with a question they want help researching.

The workshop will begin with a short introduction on approaches to researching ballot issues and evaluating election information. Afterward, librarians will be available for brief drop-in consultations to help attendees investigate specific questions or issues on their ballots. Attendees can come for the full workshop or stop by during the drop-in period.

No registration is required. Bring a ballot question or issue you want to research, and librarians will help you get started. Coffee will be provided.
