JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Fulton County is working to inform voters about the issues that impact them directly.
The Voter Education and Outreach Team is a nonpartisan group seeking to provide election information to enhance voters’ experiences, said LaShandra Little, Fulton County voter education and outreach manager.
The team demonstrates electronic voting equipment, provides information for working at the polls and issues free Georgia Voter Identification cards. Presentations are given at a variety of locations, including senior centers, schools, neighborhood and civic meetings, churches and social meetings.
“This is our responsibility to the voting process,” Little said.
On May 7, members of the team set up a table in the foyer of Ocee Library, 5090 Abbotts Bridge Road, in one of dozens of similar appearances scheduled for May.
“The Voter Education and Outreach Team of Fulton County aims to educate, empower and inform voters on legislation and regulations impacting them, increase and nurture enthusiasm for the electoral process and reach out to all eligible voters throughout the county,” Little said.
As a part of the county’s Department of Registration and Elections divisions, the team is funded through the county and run by staff. Residents who train as deputy registrars may volunteer.
