My Voice…..My Vote is the theme of a campaign underway by the Saint John Votes Committee.
In conjunction with Vibrant Communities, they hope to increase voter turn-out in priority neighbourhoods by 10% with a door to door campaign.
Committee member Laura Basque from Cresent Valley tells CHSJ News, many of the people she has spoken with don’t or have never voted because they feel their needs are and have been ignored.
Basque adds hidden polling station and a lack of transportation have been reasons for residents in the nrighbourhood not to vote in the past but with the Community Resource Center acting as a polling station, that shouldn’t be an issue.
