Five Fifths Voter How-To Guide

Introduction

Why Vote

Why Your Vote Matters

If you think just one vote in a sea of millions won't make much of a difference, then consider changing that thinking. Your single vote does matter!

Your commitment to having YOUR voice heard matters, especially if you are part of a community of voters who have historically had their voting rights challenged and marginalized.

It is because of these challenges that voting is a journey not just a single act on a single day.

So WELCOME to " Five Fifths Voter" where you can easily, safely and securely Get Connected and Get Support to succeed at making your voice and your vote matter.
