The Bernalillo county clerk will hold a public forum this Saturday to discuss the 2008 general election.
“The public’s trust of the government and elections is at the foundation of our democratic system,” said County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver in a statement. “Because we cannot conduct elections without the participation of the public, it is important they have the opportunity to inform the process.”
The clerk will also be organizing meetings with representatives from party organizations, candidate committees and voter advocacy organizations.
On Saturday, Toulouse Oliver expects to hear from poll workers, political party challengers and watchers, other stakeholders and members of the public who participated in the 2008 general election.
“We held the first public forum in 2007 and formulated some process changes based on information we received,” Toulouse Oliver said. “Once again, I personally look forward to hearing the thoughts and suggestions of people who care enough about elections to give us their feedback on what we have done well in the past and how we can do a better job in the future.”
