PAACE Advocacy Update
August 29, 2024
November 5, 2024 is election day.
The last day to register to vote is October 21, 2024.
Adult literacy and basic education programs can help students who are US citizens get the information they need to register and prepare to vote. Adult education programs can engage and inspire students and the community to participate in the democratic process by teaching students about how government works and how they can participate in the democratic process.
Voting matters and while voter turnout was up during the elections of 2018, 2020 and 2022, about 66% of the voting-eligible voters turned out to vote.
Here are some resources for your program to help adult learners understand how to register, learn about candidates, and vote in Pennsylvania.
