Souls to the Polls rides again
The Souls to the Polls Car Caravan cruised through three Wards and Precincts this past Saturday, July 9 - just ahead of the July 12 deadline to register for the August 2 Primary. The three wards selected, which have a combined 3,267 voters, have a large number of registered voters but a lower voter turnout. Car Caravans were used in order to be respectful of COVID protocols while still positively impacting a large number of voters.
Souls to the Polls, begun in KC in 2019 by Dr. Elizabeth Ann Sanders, is a non-partisan coalition of citizens designed to increase voter turnout. Special thanks are extended to all participants and to the KCK Police Department, KCK Motorcycle policemen, the Kansas City Kansas Community College (KCKCC) Campus Police and the KCKCC Event Department.
The next Caravan will take place on Saturday, October 29, 2022. Mark your calendars!
