Black Friday Voter Registration Drive

posted October 27, 2015 1:58 PM

Inspired by this comment, let's have a voter registration drive in Seattle on Black Friday.

I have some experience canvassing but no experience doing voter registration. I'll do some research about how to get an event like this off the ground in Washington state.

Suggestions for a venue are hereby solicited. I'd prefer to find a well trafficked location with a critical mass of people who are less likely to be registered: young people, poor people, immigrants, minorities.

Please indicate your interest and if you have experience or expertise running an event like this, please help me plan it! Thanks!

The Washington in-person deadline to vote was last Monday, so "Register to vote for the election after this one" might be a bit trickier than usual, timing-wise.

There's already a Black Lives Matter event that day. I don't know if you'd like to contact the organizer to see if there's interest in a voter's drive, but I think there may be some overlapping interest in going to both of these events.
