Church leaders seek to rally Detroit voters with ‘Pews to the Polls’

DETROIT (FOX 2) – Tomorrow, voters will select a brand new mayor of Detroit.

Turnout in Detroit is anticipated to be low. In consequence, church leaders are attempting to encourage individuals to vote.

The initiative is known as ‘Pews to the Polls’. On Monday, organizers held a information convention on the town’s west aspect to get the message out and encourage residents to solid their votes.

The polls are open tomorrow from 7am to 8pm and in case you are not registered to vote, you possibly can truly accomplish that on the polling station.

Al Williams is without doubt one of the organizers of Pews to the Polls.

“For a common election in mayoral elections, we should always get no less than 35 to 40, even 50%,” he stated. “So all of us acknowledge that our turnout has been persistently low, and we have to do one thing about that.”
