Description

With mid-term elections right around the corner, it's time to ask yourself, "Who is on the ballot and what do they represent?" Join Nicole Isca, the director of voter outreach for BallotReady, for a candid conversation to learn more about BallotReady's platform and passion to increase voter participation through education. This is an online session; after registering ahead of time, join the meeting here.

For many, the November ballot remains a mystery. Where do you turn to learn more about the candidates? How do you know who is up for re-election? A digital nonpartisan voter guide, BallotReady helps voters around the country see their entire ballots, view aggregated information about every candidate and every ballot initiative, and share their completed ballots with their friends and networks.

Nicole Isca is the director of voter outreach for BallotReady. Before turning her focus to educating voters, Nicole taught high school English and world history for seven years, first in Indianapolis and then in Chicago. It was through her work with students that she gained a passion and appreciation for the importance of empowering young people to be active citizens. A native Hoosier, Nicole earned her bachelor's degree in secondary education from Indiana University and her Master of Arts in secondary education from Marian University.
