General election voter engagement kickoff

Community partners hold up “vote” signs in different languages.

Community partners hold up “vote” signs in different languages.

On Aug. 16, King County Elections, the Seattle Foundation, and 22 community-based organizations, including Asian Counseling and Referral Services, InterIm Community Development Association, International Community Health Services, Korean American Coalition, and Rajana Society, kicked off voter outreach efforts for the November General Election.

Together, they plan to reach between 20,000 and 40,000 limited-English speaking voters through educational workshops, candidate and ballot forums, voter registration drives, and other community events.

“Rather than assuming we know the right way to engage King County’s many diverse communities, we are partnering with and resourcing the organizations who have been doing this work for decades,” said Director of Elections, Julie Wise.
