The 2025 consolidated election season is kicking off with its usual verve and a host of complex issues to address. Local election officials and electoral boards have many responsibilities to make elections happen. Meanwhile, local governments are asked to enforce political sign regulations and electioneering laws. Local governments may get involved in elections themselves with their own referenda and public questions. To help listeners tackle these issues, Ancel Glink’s Erin Monforti and Katie Nagy update a classic Quorum Forum election special, featuring insight from equity partner Keri-Lyn Krafthefer!
