FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
To celebrate the 83rd anniversary of women’s right to vote on August 26th, a statewide campaign to increase the number of registered voters is being organized in Kentucky.
County court clerks are being asked to display a voting machine in their counties and to hand out voter registration cards on August 26th and throughout that week. Presently, 20 county court clerks have agreed to participate in this statewide project and the organizers are asking for every county to get involved. Some locally owned grocery stores as well as a few Wal-Marts have agreed to let the voting booths be displayed in their establishments.
Organizers are asking women’s groups to volunteer to distribute registration cards and work with their county clerk during this week.
