The Minnesota Reformer and League of Women Voters of Minnesota, in partnership with the Leagues of Duluth, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Mankato, are bringing communities together for a series of conversations about Minnesota’s 2026 elections.

Join us in the studio at St. Paul Neighborhood Network on October 8th to learn how Minnesota’s elections are administered, why they remain safe and secure, and what each of us can do to help keep them that way. Hear from local election officials, journalists, and League leaders as they share insights, answer questions, and explore how informed, engaged citizens help strengthen trust in our elections.

Come early! Chat with League of Women Voters of St. Paul & Minneapolis members, or  grab food or a beverage from OG ZaZA or Lake Monster before the program begins.

Whether you’re a longtime voter or simply curious about how our election system works, you’ll leave better informed about Minnesota elections and how you can help protect free and fair elections.

Panelists include:

• Patrick Coolican, Editor-in-Chief, Minnesota Reformer

• Judy Zaunbrecher, Minneapolis Election Judge and LWVMN Voter Service Chair

• David Triplett, Deputy Director, Ramsey County Property Tax, Records and Election Services

• Melanie Hazelip (tentative), Voter Outreach, Minnesota Secretary of State’s Offic
