Before heading to the polls, join us to view artifacts from the archives and participate in a discussion about the historic roles women have played in Broward County’s elections over the years.
From Easter Lily Gates’ work registering minority voters in the 1930s to the national attention that our 21st century elections have garnered, the history of our Supervisor of Elections office and our local electorate have been deeply influenced by women’s work.
Join the BCL Special Collections department at Main Library for a historical discussion of the roles that women have played in our elections at 6:30pm.
A reception to preview artifacts and have refreshments will begin at 6:00pm.
Original artifacts from the Broward County Historical Archives will be on display including Broward County’s first ballot box (1916), Easter Lily Gates’ quirky election day hats, and one of the “hanging chad” voting machines from the contested Bush v. Gore 2000 Presidential Election.
