HyeVotes volunteers make phone calls to prospective voters
LOS ANGELES – In a welcome development days before California’s June 7th primary, the ANCA – Western Region HyeVotes initiative announced that it has registered nearly 10,000 voters over the last five months. The recent success in registering voters is matched with the ANCA HyeVotes proven track record of registering approximately 25,000 voters across the State of California over the last several years. The Los Angeles Times and the Sacramento Bee both recently published articles citing the emerging growth of the Armenian American voters as a growing political force in the State of California.
Most recently, the ANCA-WR HyeVotes initiative – led by a talented team of dedicated ANCA-Western Region team members – has been active at hundreds of Armenian American gatherings – big and small – seeking to engage those who are eligible to vote, but are not registered. This effort has included outreach to thousands of households, extensive phone banking and canvassing to Armenian American homes across the State of California and the use of advanced technology to identify potential voters. On the last day of voter registration for the California Primary Elections alone, the HyeVotes team registered hundreds of new voters in less than 12 hours, with the last walk-in to the headquarters at 11:37pm.
