Kansas City Advocates Mobilize to Boost Voter Registration Ahead of Upcoming Election

Advocates Dispatch Around Kansas City to Help Register Voters Ahead of Election

Kansas City Takes Action

In an exciting push to increase voter registration, Kansas City saw advocates working tirelessly this weekend to help locals get ready for the upcoming election. On August 24, members of a dedicated voting collective gathered at several community centers throughout the city to provide assistance with registering to vote.

Making Voting Accessible

This initiative, spearheaded by Mayor Pro Tem Ryana Parks and the Greater Kansas City National Pan-Hellenic Council, aimed to simplify the voting process for residents. The partnership was supported by the City of Kansas City, Mo., and local KC Parks Community Centers, showcasing a community effort towards accessible democracy.

Providing the Tools

The Pan-Hellenic Council played a key role by equipping volunteers with the necessary technology to connect with residents and guide them through the registration process. This effort is particularly crucial as the city prepares for the upcoming election in November.

Addressing Registration Gaps

Statistics from previous elections shed light on a significant concern: in 2022, approximately 225,186 out of nearly 510,000 eligible voters in Kansas City were registered. This means less than 45% of those eligible took the step to register, highlighting the urgent need for more engagement and outreach efforts.

Get Involved!

Residents looking for more information or wishing to register to vote are encouraged to learn more and take action as the election date approaches. Engaging with your local community to ensure everyone has the opportunity to vote is vital for a healthy democracy.
