VOTER preparedness.

Pass along…..Important voter registration information.

BEMA and VoteRiders are non-partisan 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and believe that all citizens are able to exercise their right to vote.

Below is a FACEBOOK chat with VoteRiders for information for a list of states step-by-step registration procedures.  

The right to vote as with disaster\emergency preparedness requires a planned approach to electing local, county, state, and federal representatives for community engagement, capacity and resilience building which part of the mission of BEMA.

Let’s not wait to the last few months to prepare for the electorial process in the U.S., but plan now to obtain voter registration requirements, and locations of voting polls in your community.

Be safe, be prepared.

Charles D. Sharp.  CEO.  BEMA

Has VoteRiders or other voting rights organizations created a list of the most difficult states with voter registrations requirements? Even and entire list for all states and a STEP-BY-STEP for registration would be better for distribution to FRIEND networks, and posting on social media. Thanks...Charles D. Sharp. CEO. Black Emergency Managers Association.
