The Houston Public Library (HPL) has partnered with The League of Women Voters of Houston Education Fund (LWV) to offer the Houston community opportunities to register to vote and get informed for this 2016 election season!
HPL is hosting Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrars coordinated by LWV at various neighborhood library locations to help community members register to vote through the month of September till October 11, 2016, the last day of voter registration. Volunteer Deputies will be at every Library location on Tuesday, September 27, 2016, for National Voter Registration Day; and at the Library’s 5th Annual LibroFEST event on Saturday, October 1, 2016, starting at 2PM till 5PM at the Central Library Plaza, 500 McKinney St., 77002.
Several HPL locations will host a display dedicated to the GO VOTE campaign. Each display will feature a copy of the League of Women Voters 2016 Voters Guide, which provides information on all national and local political candidates. HPL is inviting the community to vote for their favorite library display on the Library’s Instagram – @houstonpubliclibrary. Follow the campaign with #HPLVotes! LWV Voters Guides will be available at all HPL locations.
