Elections: Where We Are and How You Can Help

with Matthew Fruth, assistant deputy clerk of elections at Cook County Clerk's office
Thu, Oct. 13 @ 1:00 pm on Zoom

Preparation for elections is a year-round effort. As we close in on a month out from the election, many of our efforts focus on recruiting and training election judges. We’re always in need of more, especially younger folks who are willing to serve! Mail ballots are also a growing part of our efforts to make elections more accessible, and the mail balloting environment is continually changing.

Matthew Fruth is an assistant deputy clerk of elections at Cook County Clerk's office, and he’s also the president of the Oak Park Public Library Board of Trustees. Matthew will share the latest updates about how a county of more than five million people runs a midterm election and will be happy to answer your questions.
