WILLOW GROVE, PA–Today, Montgomery County’s new Voter Services Mobile Voter Services Satellite Office made its first public appearance at Abington Township’s Fall Festival at Crestmont Park. Montgomery County Commissioners celebrated the unveiling of the mobile satellite office while greeting festivalgoers and answering questions about how to vote in this year’s general election. The mobile satellite office allows voters to get important election information and services from trained voter services staff out in the community.
“The Montgomery County Voter Services Mobile Outreach van is the first of its kind in Pennsylvania” said Neil Makhija, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Elections. “It’s one of several steps we’re taking to make this election more accessible than ever. We’ve doubled our secure ballot drop boxes, opened more satellite voter services offices than ever, and now this mobile satellite office can reach more people where they already are. Our goal is to increase voter access to the information and tools they need to participate in our democracy.”
“The voter services van will help us make sure that every eligible voter in Montgomery County has the chance to cast their ballot this general election,” said Jamila H. Winder, Vice Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Elections. “We can especially reach people in places where accessibility challenges make it harder to visit a voter services office, such as senior facilities and community centers. We’re also able to connect directly with voters at festivals and public events. Wherever the community gathers, we aim to get out there to make sure people are informed and ready to vote this election.”
The mobile voter services satellite office is equipped to provide the same services as a regular satellite office. Citizens can register to vote, update their registration, request a mail-in ballot and return their completed ballot at the voter services van or any voter services office location across Montgomery County. It is scheduled to travel to various senior communities and public events in the weeks leading up to the November 5 election.
In addition to the voter services van, the County’s secure ballot drop boxes and voter services satellite offices are now open and available.
