BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — As election day slowly approaches, voter advocacy groups say they are working to encourage people to get out to the polls and vote.
Ida Tyree Hill is a member of the League of Women Voters of Greater Birmingham, a non-partisan political organization, and said organizers with the group are working to get people out to vote.
“Our efforts have always been to provide education, voter education and then also to help people by having voter registration clinics,” said Hill.
Hill said one step to educating is to remind people about the history of voting and on National Voter Registration Day the group plans to use their platform to do just that.
“I would just to see everybody remember the process we’ve come to just be able to vote.” said Hill.
