Bucks County Commissioners Announce BUCKS VOTES Public Education has Reached All 54 Municipalities

With two-and-a-half weeks remaining until the Nov. 7 General Election, the Bucks County Commissioners have reached their goal of scheduling BUCKS VOTES educational events in all 54 of the county’s municipalities.

“Throughout the BUCKS VOTES initiative, we have sought to reach out to every pocket of our county’s diverse electorate,” said commissioners’ Chairman James F. Cawley, Esq. “It was extremely important to us to have at least one session in every locality.”

Today, the commissioners announced another week of venues for the program, which continues to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback. These dates are in addition to the two permanent sites established for demonstrations, at the Bucks County Courthouse (55 E. Court St., Doylestown) on the second floor, and at the Lower Bucks Government Service Center in Levittown ( 7321 New Falls Rd. Levittown).

For additional voter training, viewers can watch the training video as many times as they want, at any time, via ON DEMAND from Comcast. The video will be located in the “BUCKS VOTES” folder under the Get Local menu of ON DEMAND. The video also appears, with more informational materials, on BUCKS VOTES Voter Education.This week’s voter education sessions are as follows:
