"I think that a lot of people in the valley, perhaps, see the same people that are running and might not feel connected to some of the priorities that they have. The way that we make that happen is by having our people vote. Having them have their voices heard." - Crystal Quezada, ACLU's Imperial Valley director.
"For decades, Imperial County has trailed most other California counties in voter turnout. The county came in dead last during this year's primary election, with just over 18% of eligible voters casting their ballots, according to state voting records."
"Now a coalition of grassroots organizers are making a wide-reaching effort to change that. Their goal is to get hundreds more voters registered by Election Day and to energize more people - especially younger voters - about the process."
