Boone County voters prepare for upcoming elections at nonpartisan event
COLUMBIA — Some Boone County voters started getting ready for upcoming elections at “Your Vote, Your Voice!,” a nonpartisan event held Saturday at the Columbia Public Library.
The event was co-sponsored by local coalition When She Votes and the library. When She Votes consists of organizations including the NAACP, the League of Women Voters, Services for Independent Living, and the City of Columbia and Boone County governments.
"The goal is to inform people that their vote has value," said Marilyn McLeod, the co-chair of When She Votes.
Speakers pushed for people to go out and vote, especially in municipal elections, where voter turnout tends to be significantly lower.
