VOTES MATTER!
Simply by voting, we magnify our voices to a level where politicians can hear us!
Join us this weekend for the kick off of our Voter Registration Drive!
There are millions of people across the nation eligible to vote who are not REGISTERED or simply don’t vote! Yet, some elections in Virginia have been decided by less than 200 votes.
Yes every vote matters and even a few hundred can change an election and our democracy works best when more of us vote.
New Virginia Majority is looking for volunteers to join with us for a few hours this weekend to help us register voters. We’ll be all over Virginia in our orange t-shirts, looking to add a thousand more voters to the rolls before the deadline to register ends on Oct. 13.
Just a few hours of your time can impact the November election. You can volunteer for a few hours on any day between Friday and Monday of next week to help register voters. Scroll down for the times and places where you can volunteer. Contact the organizer directly for the location where you can volunteer.
