Alameda County Elections Commission

Irene Dieter, President of the Alameda County Elections Commission (EC) and a long-time member of the League of Women Voters in Alameda, will describe the role of the EC, what issues they deal with, how complaints are resolved, and answer your questions about elections in our county.

Also on this program will be Dr. David Renfro who will describe the work of Veterans For All Voters, a non-partisan organization that specifically works with veterans in the areas of civic engagement, voter education and community leadership. This work closely aligns with the mission of the League of Women Voters.

We will spend our remaining time navigating through the highlights and deeper content of the Vote411.org website. Produced by the League of Women Voters, VOTE411.org contains details on what you need to know before casting your ballot with confidence.

This event will be held Saturday, September 12, 2026 from 10am until 11:30am at
Niles Discovery Church
36600 Niles Blvd., Fremont

Sponsored by The League of Women Voters of Fremont, Newark and Union City, the event is free and open to the public.
