Voter Registration Event in Sharon Hill
The next big Delaware County Democratic Party sponsored voter registration
event is coming up Saturday, September 18th in Upper Darby. We are
starting at 10 AM (although you can show up at any point before 1 PM) and
going to 1 PM meeting at K-Mart (713 E Baltimore Pk, Clifton Heights).
This is the last big voter registration drive sponsored by the county before the election (all forms need to be in by Oct. 4th to be valid for election day), so it is now or never time.
Those interested can call or email Jason Marmon, 610-565-2589 or APOOscar@alum.drexel.edu.
Please note we are also setting up voter registration and information tables
at supermarkets throughout the county. We need volunteers in various
locations every Saturday and Sunday until Oct. 3. To volunteer for a
supermarket event, email Sharon Liss Sweeney at SSwe324@aol.com
