These local gatherings are part of what organizers described as a nationwide day of action, with similar events planned across the country.

According to organizers, the events will serve as gathering sites where residents can check their voter registration status, find polling places or ballot drop boxes, organize rides to the polls and connect with voter protection networks ahead of the Nov. 3 election. “Voters can obtain a mail ballot by signing up online, or by coming to any one of the city’s 10 Satellite Election Offices (SEO) — one in each Council district. Those who visit an SEO can return the ballot in that same visit, or at any one of the 34 ballot drop boxes throughout the city” said Chairman Omar
