Election 2011

This election, the Vote for Homes Coalition is providing basic voting information to the voters connected with shelters, affordable housing programs, and other non-profits. For more information about who is running for office, please visit http://www.seventy.org/Elections_Elections.aspx. If you need help finding your polling place, please visit http://bit.ly/VoteVerifyPA. There were a number of polling places that changed this election. Please make the attached voter rights poster available to Philadelphians.

After you exercise your right to vote today, consider contacting your PA State Senator (www.bit.ly/HB934-NO) to explain that we don't need more restrictions on our voting rights. The current voter id laws are sufficient; a more restrictive law would prevent many homeless individuals who struggle to get state issued identification from voting.

Help us get voters in our community to fill out “pledge to vote” cards so we can get more voters to the polls. Can you help us with this initiative?

1. Print the card (doublesided on cardstock) or pick them up from 1515 Fairmount Ave.
2. Get people in your community fill out the card and collect it from them.
3. Turn in the cards to 1515 Fairmount Avenue up until a week before Election Day. Vote for Homes will send it to the voter as a reminder to vote.
4. Once they fill out the card, they will get a reminder in the mail.
