Beyond the Ballot: Exploring Local Offices
Class | Registration opens Tuesday, February 3, 2026 10:00 AM
Have you ever wondered if the County Judge is an actual Judge and what exactly is a Justice of the Peace? Have you heard the term “Gerrymandering” and wondered what that term means? Jennifer Price, Director of Elections for Washington County, will explore exactly what those offices are responsible for as well as other elected offices at the County, Municipal, and School level. She will also discuss what is the definition of precincts and districts, who is responsible for determining those lines and how those impact elections. In addition to local offices, Ms. Price will explore the Primary Voting System and what changes were made for the 2026 Election Cycle.
This program will meet in person at OLLI Headquarters (HQ), located at 481 S. Shiloh Drive, Fayetteville, AR 72704. Please read your class reminder email for the exact room location.
Class changes occasionally happen; please watch for (and read) announcements or emails from OLLI regarding your class.
