Every vote matters! Voting is an important way to make your voice heard on the issues facing our state. There are many important issues at the national, state and local level and voting sends a strong message about the people who should represent you and your community.

You and your community have the power to make change, educate yourselves and others about the issues you care about and elect the representatives that would best represent your community. You can impact changes in your community and support a positive future.

You have the power to participate in voter engagement activities including registering people to vote, providing information about the voting process like dates and deadlines and also letting people know about candidate forms and debates. As a trusted community organization interacting with individuals every day, you can fill an important role by providing information and resources for your community.
