Forum on Voting and Political Participation Scheduled

Lindenwood University will host a forum titled “You don’t vote, but you should,” including a distinguished panel of scholars and community leaders on March 2 at 3:30 p.m. in the Spellmann Center’s Anheuser-Busch Leadership Rooms to discuss why the 2020 election could be the most significant in a generation.

The panel will discuss barriers to political participation, ways to overcome these barriers, and why the election this November could influence voting choices for the next decade.

Panel members include Kurt Bahr, director of the St. Charles County Election Authority and former member of the Missouri House of Representatives; Don Heidenreich, Lindenwood University history professor; Anita Manion, UMSL assistant professor of political science; and Dave Robertson, UMSL curators’ teaching professor and chair of the political science department.

The event is free and open to the public.
