Hundreds Expected to Rock & Walk the Vote Line Saturday in Yakima

This coming Saturday, the League of Women Voters Yakima County and the Yakima County NAACP are holding "get out the vote" efforts with a day of action event they are calling "Rock the Vote, Walk the Line". In addition to a fun run/walk starting at Larson Park near YVC Community College, there will be free information about how to register to vote and ends with a free pizza party at the finish line.

The 'line' represents the election redistricting line that runs along the LD 14 and LD 15 districts in Yakima County. Election Day is coming up on Tuesday, November 3rd.

Everybody is invited to come down to Larson Park and join the group of volunteers who plan to walk from the park (1209 W Arlington St) over to the Excel Youth Center at OIC of Washington (1009 N 9th Ave).

The family-friendly event aims to encourage voters in Legislative District 14 to get out the vote and walk the district line on Saturday, October 10th. The goal is is to also educate the community about how to register to vote and general voter information in a nonpartisan way.

Registration for the event begins at 9 in the morning that Saturday and the walking will begin at 9:45. There is expected to be a pizza party at the end of the 'line.'
