    `Hye Votes' Voter Registration Drive Gains Momentum

    Wednesday, August 15th, 2012


    GLENDALE- Since its recent launch of Hye Votes, a extensive voter
    registration and Get Out the Vote campaign, the Armenian National
    Committee of America-Western Region has established its headquarters
    in Glendale on the third floor of the Krikor & Mariam Karamanoukian
    Youth Center, with another regional call center in Hollywood.

    These centers will serve as base camps for organized canvassing and
    phone banking by volunteers from the community whose goal it is to
    register large numbers of Armenian-Americans to vote in the upcoming
    November elections and in future elections, and then to encourage them
    to actually vote.

    Many electoral races are expected to be decided by slim margins, and
    the collective voice of the large Armenian-American community will
    surely play a pivotal role in determining which candidates will
    ultimately best represent the community's interests in every level of
    government: local, state, and federal.

    Through the active participation and involvement of a large number of
    Armenian community organizations and entities, coupled with public
    service announcements as part of a massive ad campaign, Hye Votes is
    certain to reach large segments of the community which have either
    refrained from registering or which have not actively voted in recent
    elections.

    `It is vitally important for our community to know that it must act,
    individually and collectively, to protect its rights and its
    interests. Our vote is our voice, and every single vote counts.
    Members of our community should feel empowered to make their voices
    heard by registering to vote and then by actually voting,' said to Hye
    Votes Campaign Director Elen Asatryan.

    Community members are encouraged to contact Hye Votes at (818)
    533-VOTE(8683) or (323) 989-4ANC (4262) and to actively outreach
    within their own families and circles of friends to ensure that every
    citizen is registered to vote. Inquiries can also be made through the
    website at www.HyeVotes.org.

    The Hye Votes campaign will be ongoing past the November general
    elections and will remain in effect for every upcoming election season
    at every level of government in order to ensure that our community's
    collective voice is heard.

    The Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region is the
    largest and most influential Armenian American grassroots advocacy
    organization in the Western United States. Working in coordination
    with a network of offices, chapters, and supporters throughout the
    Western United States and affiliated organizations around the country,
    the ANCA-WR advances the concerns of the Armenian American community
    on a broad range of issues.
