Election Expo: Everything a Voter Needs to Know

(Press Release) (West Palm Beach, FL – September 2, 2026) With the general election just two months away, the League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County (LWVPBC) is emphasizing Every Vote Counts!, a comprehensive nonpartisan campaign of voter registration, education, and candidate engagement. “This informative multi-platform outreach is targeted at voters across Palm Beach County, including first-time voters,” says LWVPBC President Janet Elinoff.
 
One major highlight will be a free Election Expo 2026, scheduled for Monday, September 28, 5:30 to 7:30 pm, at the Palm Beach State College Gymnasium in Lake Worth. Attendees can meet candidates, learn about Florida Constitutional Amendments and other ballot questions such as the referendums for Palm Beach County schools, parks, and libraries, pick up nonpartisan voter information, connect with community organizations dedicated to civic engagement, and more.
