Together with friends from the community, I am coordinating an urgent effort to increase Early Voting Outreach to students. Please share this blog post with College Students -- seeking student, faculty, staff volunteers (or others willing to assist in GOTV) to meet with a non-partisan early voting action team created to increase the EARLY VOTE Turnout on our local college campuses which have Early Voting Polling Locations.
Early Voting for the Run-Off Election begins on Monday December 2nd through Tuesday Dec. 10th. Election Day is Saturday Dec. 14th. This voter education effort is not associated with any campaign and is intended to have a long term impact on the Culture of Voting on College Campuses not just for this election but elections of the future - this convenience of having Early Voting on our college campuses should not be taken for granted. Demonstrated use of these locations by VOTING EARLY at these locations help assure the long term future of having these voting locations on college campuses. Student and Alumni ORGANIZATIONS that include GOTV (Getting Out the Vote) please consider sending a representative to this meeting!
It is important students, faculty and staff know where to vote on their campus, as well as the surrounding community. Let's discuss outreach methods that will make a long term difference! Also, there is a great need to turnaround the usual statistics that young people as well as run-offs have LOW TURNOUT. Voting has never been more important than our times today. And youth that get in the habit of voting as a young person are likely to continue to vote throughout their lives and encourage their future children and grandchildren to vote (as our parents taught us!) Elections have consequences and making sure our community votes impacts our City, our State, and our Nation and our own futures!
