Centro teams up with League of Women Voters Hays County for increased turnout in 2020 elections

Centro Cultural Hispano de San Marcos has teamed up with the League of Women Voters (LWV) of Hays County to reach more members of the community for maximum voter participation in this year’s election cycle.

Predictions indicate there will be 10.5 to 11 million voters in 2020, a record. Turnout is always the name of the game. Thus, it is important that the Hays County vote turns out.

The goal of this new team named “Come Vote With Us” is to educate the public on the voter registration process and the potential changes to the actual voting process due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The team hopes to achieve this by educating the public of Hays County on the process of voter registration; how to vote on election day and how to vote by mail for those eligible.

The team endeavor began in late July, consisting of individual campaigns — targeting specific voter groups within Hays County. The campaigns include outreach to minority and senior voters as well as the Hays County collegiate student population.

Centro is a social educational organization that works to document the past, respond to the present, and help build the future of this community. The work of Centro is centered on a community-development framework and is dedicated to serving the people. Much like Centro, the League of Women Voters works to create an inclusive environment that considers the rights of all, by empowering voters and defending democracy.
