National Voter Registration Day UPDATE
September 17, 2024

Adopt a Precinct Committee
Picture

UPDATE: We have learned from Vision Leads, our Adopt a Precinct partner, that almost 40% of voters in Iowa have been removed from voting rolls. Check your registration! And do NOT rely on the US Postal Service to get any voter registration or ballot to the auditor's office on time (read the article linked below). The most reliable way to vote is in person and early. Contact one of our PACG Voter Outreach experts to assist you.

Election officials warn that widespread problems with the US mail system could disrupt voting : State and local election officials from across the country on Wednesday warned that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election, telling the head of the U.S. Postal Service that it hasn’t fixed persistent deficiencies.

Tuesday, September 17th is National Voter Registration Day! It is also seven weeks before the election on November 5th! One of the most important things you can do at this point is to be sure that you and your family and friends are registered to vote in your state. Since we have adopted a Davenport, Iowa precinct as part of our efforts to get out the vote, we want to be sure that our Iowa community has checked to be sure that they are still registered to vote. Your county auditor may have removed you from the voter list without your knowledge. If you can't scan a QR code like the one here, go to this link to check for your Iowa voting status. For those in other areas, you can check your voter registration here. Don't wait until election day to find out!

Power in Our Numbers

Picture
Power in Our Numbers will be sponsoring a Voter Registration Day of Action throughout the
Quad Cities area on Saturday, August 10th from 11 – 3. Power In Our Numbers is a non-
partisan partnership of local organizations in the Iowa and Illinois Quad Cities. This
organization works together in partnership to maintain and enhance objectives in our Quad Cities
community that will allow our voices to matter.

The Voter Registration Day of Action will allow Quad Citians the opportunity to:
  • Register to vote
  • Find election and voter information
  • Pick up absentee ballot request forms
  • Get answers to questions concerning voting

There will be a central location at the Third Missionary Baptist Church parking lot at 222 W. 14th
St. in Davenport, Iowa with members and volunteers present from 11 – 3 providing voter
information. Members will also be visiting QC churches, beauty salons, barbershops, and local
businesses sharing informational packets and giving out information on that day about voting in
our November 5th General Election.

Because Your Voice Matters!

The purpose of the Day of Action is exactly that…bringing awareness, getting our Quad Citians
involved and ready to express themselves in selecting those individuals who will be able to assist
in making our community safe and prosperous for each and every one of us.
