In a triumph of documentary storytelling, ELECTION DAY combines eleven stories into one cross-country portrait of American democracy in action. Factory workers, ex-felons, harried moms, Native American activists and diligent poll watchers, from South Dakota to Florida, take the process of democracy into their own hands. The result is an entertaining, inspiring and sometimes unsettling tapestry of the stories of citizens who are determined on one fateful day to make their vote count.

Directed by Katy Chevigny
Produced by Maggie Bowman & Dallas Brennan Rexer
Edited by Penelope Falk
Original Music by John Kimbrough
