Protect the voting rights of all New Orleans citizens
Over the past several weeks, the NAACP has worked tirelessly to protect the voting rights of all New Orleans citizens. Through the NAACP's 16 Voting Assistance Centers located in nine states, the Association provided absentee ballot registration and election information.
On Saturday, April 15th, the NAACP transported busloads of Orleans Parish citizens from four cities in Texas — Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Austin; Atlanta, GA; and Jackson, MS back home to Louisiana to cast their vote.
While our efforts have had a strong and consistent impact, the overall voter turnout for the New Orleans election remains low. Tomorrow is the last opportunity for New Orleanians to vote in the Primary Election. This election will certainly narrow the field of mayoral candidates as well as elect individuals to key offices that will make critical decisions concerning housing, education, health, and employment issues in the city of New Orleans.
The NAACP and our partners, The People for the American Way (PFAW) and the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights (LCCR), are committed and dedicated to ensuring that Orleans Parish residents are able to cast a meaningful vote and have their vote counted.
Value your right to vote and make it count on Saturday, April 22nd.
