About this Event

Presented by Crawford County Commissioner Christopher Seeley, we’ll dig into the history of the direct primary system of government, how it works, and its history - starting on this day in Crawford County, Pennsylvania in 1842. Known as the “Crawford County System,” our history has an effect on every election since!

Light refreshments will be served afterwards.
