The League of Women Voters of Kentucky wants to get you to the polls now that voter registration is over.

The nonpartisan policy group is using a new grant to encourage key demographic groups to get to the polls.

This week, the league was at Transylvania University in Lexington to mobilize young voters and to speak out on one of the election's hot button issues.

More on that as we begin tonight's election 2024 Update.

We recently received a $10,000 grant that we've been utilizing to mobilize voters across the state.

Voter registration deadline has passed, so our efforts have switched to voter mobilization.

We're doing door knocking because the most effective way to reach people is to have three touches, and talking to them in person is a great opportunity.

So canvasing neighborhoods with voters who tend to not turn out to the polls is really what we're focusing on.

And using that money that with young people, that is our huge demographic and that's why we're here at transit.

But we're also trying to reach people of color and reach into those communities, because historically there have been so many barriers preventing them from making their voice heard.

And we've also been putting resources into amendment to our official stance is to vote no, because this would absolutely devastate our public schools.

We are nonpartisan, so we don't endorse certain parties or candidates.

But we do take stances on issues like education because not all issues are partizan.

They're simply policy issues that affect Kentuckians across partizan lines.

We are in polarizing times.

We've been in this time for quite a while and people are really turned off by politics.

So that's why it's important to really connect with people on their values and these key issues and breaking down those partizan barriers.

On October 26th, the league is having a statewide day of action to encourage voter participation and distribute election information.
