Get Out the Vote, Marlins!
Begin by being registered, informed and ready for election day, November 6. According to the nonprofit "Votes Count," one of the biggest reasons citizens don't vote is because they don't have all the information they need about how to vote. At VWU, Wesleyan Engaged and Hofheimer Library are providing voter registration information and registration applications, transportation to the polls on election day, and opportunities to volunteer.
