Prince William

Voter Education Forum Planned

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A group of Woodbridge residents want to educate voters on recent changes involved in the electoral process.

The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity – Woodbridge Alumni Chapter will host a voter education forum at the Dr. A.J. Ferlazzo Building on U.S. 1 in Woodbridge Saturday from 2 to 3 p.m.

This is the first time the group has held an event like this in the area, and they’re doing it on behalf of the PWC African Americans Coalition.

“In light of the changes made with the new voter ID law and the district map that was revised since the 2008 election, we are working closely with the [Prince William County] Electoral Board in an effort to educate voters in the county with accurate and up-to-date information on how these changes may affect where and how they vote,” stated event organizer Dora Muhammad in an email.

The forum, “Your Voice, Your Vote,” will be the first of four forums held between now and October. Prince William County along with others in the state changed their election districts last year as part of the decennial redistricting process.
