Election Day

Election Day is Katy Chevigny’s cinema verite account of the 2004 presidential elections. In Shaker Heights, Ohio, people grow anxious waiting in long lines to cast their votes, only to be greeted by poll-workers struggling to understand confusing guidelines. In the tiny town of Stockholm, Wisconsin, people register on the spot, vote with paper and pencil, and know each other by first name. Meanwhile in New York, an ex-felon votes for the first time at the age of 50, only to learn that his vote is never counted.

Election Day is presented as part of the 2007 Women Center Stage Festival.
