County visitors and locals making Labor Day plans should add a visit to the San Bernardino County Museum to their list and be among one of the first to experience a part of San Bernardino County’s election history.
The San Bernardino County Museum and the Registrar of Voters unveiled a new pop-up voter education exhibit today. The exhibit educates San Bernardino County residents and visitors about the county’s rich civic history and reminds them of the role they play in a vibrant, responsive and resilient democracy. Available throughout the fall, San Bernardino County voters will be well prepared to cast their ballots for the Nov. 5 General Election.
“This museum exhibit is a testament to our ongoing commitment to voter education and community outreach,” said San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters Stephenie Shea. “We are thrilled to partner with the San Bernardino County Museum to bring this exhibit to life, offering a tangible connection to the county’s voting heritage and encouraging civic participation through registering to vote or becoming an election worker.”
Displayed at the museum are historical artifacts that showcase the evolution of voting in San Bernardino County over the last few decades; the Registrar of Voters’ ceremonial Golden Ballot, the centerpiece of the BallotMobile: Traveling Voter Education first-of-its-kind initiative; a selfie-worthy Instagram Wall; and important election information.
“Voting is such a vital aspect of this nation’s democracy and the history of our county,” said San Bernardino County Museum Director David Myers. “We are thrilled to highlight how voting has evolved over the last few decades as well as the more recent efforts of the Registrar of Voters to inform our visitors and county residents through the BallotMobile. We are privileged to participate in the Registrar of Voters’ countywide voter-education campaign.”
