And in case you don't know what I'm talking about:

Wake County, NC has a new program called "one-stop voting" were regitstered voters can vote in advance of the regular election date at one of a few polling places, including Raleigh's Pullen park starting Saturday, Oct 23. This means that unlike the normal election, everyone in Wake County can vote at the same place on a Saturday. We saw this as an oppritunity to have an event that would bring out voters, espeiclly younger voters, and make voting fun.

In newly democratic countries, voting is a celebration; in the US, it's a chore not unlike picking up dry cleaning or paying bills. We're trying to renew the passion for democracy that has long been dwindling.

WKNC is working with a number of other local groups, including our Student Government and the Youth Voice and Voters Project (yvvp.org), as well as a number of public and private sponsors to host Democracy Fest on the first weekend of one-stop voting. The event will include music, speakers, food, games, and whatever else we can think of to make a party of our deomcratic experience. So, come out and celebrate your right to vote!
