Albany Votes

Albany Votes is a grassroots effort to improve voter participation in the city of Albany. We are individuals that come from all walks of life and from all over this great city. We are united in our belief that an informed and active citizenry is the beating heart of a healthy local government. In the last general election less then 17,000 people voted in a city made up of nearly 100,000 people. Th

is leaves us with leadership representing very few people. Albany has several communities that have classically been under represented in the polls. It is time for this to change, and for Albany to be steered in a new direction by active and engaged citizens. So please join us this summer while we set a goal to register 2,000 new voters. We will reach out to those historically under represented areas with a simple goal of registration. You can be part of the solution. It’s time to stand up, Albany, and make your voice heard. Not only will we be walking door to door across this city with voter registration forms, but we will be conducting a listening campaign. We will be reaching out to existing voters and newly registered voters in an effort to hear what local issues are important to them. So join us in these next steps, as we lay down the foundation for a new Albany with an old school door-to-door, grass roots campaign.
