83 Hour, Non-Stop Voter Registration Marathon! - Join the fun

 
As part of a year-long push to register voters in under-represented areas (low-income, people of color, and youth communities), Kentuckians For The has again put together Operation Voter MADNESS – an all-out 83-hour marathon of non-stop voter registration ranging all over Lexington and Louisville, and including substantial efforts in Rowan, Warren, Madison, Knott, Perry, Pike, Harlan, Floyd, and Letcher Counties.

This last push caps off an effort including hundreds of events by KFTC to register voters throughout the year.

The deadline to register to vote is Monday, October 6th.  Cards must be postmarked or turned in to your local county clerk on this day or earlier to register for the November 4th General Election.

In all, we plan to contact 15,000 voters three times each this election cycle, making sure they're registered to vote, that they have non-partisan information about candidates, and that they have every opportunity to get out and vote!

New volunteers are welcome at these events!
