DRIPPING SPRINGS – Ahead of the midterm election, the Sententia Vera Cultural Hub is joining organizations nationwide to celebrate Vote Early Day on Oct. 28.
Established in 2020, Vote Early Day is a nonpartisan movement to ensure all Americans have the tools to cast their ballot early. It has brought thousands of national and local partners together in celebration and activation to increase the number of people voting early.
The Cultural Hub is a local site for voter information distributed by the League of Women Voters (LWV) of Hays County. During its weekday hours of operation (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday), the Hub will have voter information to raise awareness about the upcoming midterm election and help people learn about their options to vote early.
The Hub has a goal of helping at least 2022 voters cast their ballot before Election Day either in person, through a ballot drop box or by mail. Over 220 million Americans have the option to vote early by mail or in person, but several factors can prevent voters from casting their ballot including long lines and last-minute obligations.
“By voting early, we ensure that we have time to make a plan, inform ourselves about what is on our ballot,” said Teresa Carbajal Ravet, owner of Sententia Vera Cultural Hub, “anticipate barriers that might get in the way, resolve any challenges that may arise at the polls and have time to resolve them, and guarantee that our voice is heard. We are celebrating Vote Early Day to make sure everyone has the tools they need to cast their ballot this fall—and feel confident that their vote will count.”
