Voter Update
At this time, the VOWOC cannot qualify nor quantify the total number of new voters we have registered for the 2011 general election. We have concerns and are reviewing our data carefully and will update you on our efforts as soon as we complete our fact-finding and discovery process and meet with the Registrar of Voters Office.

However, we can undoubtedly confirm that we knocked on 4,950 doors in the months September and October and canvassed more than 7,000 homes in Districts 1, 5, and 7. To learn more about the electoral process and how to get involved, please contact Paula at (860) 897-1445 or via email at p.brown@vowoc.org.
