YEREAN, FEBRUARY 22, ARMENPRESS: Before U.S. Municipal Elections
taking place in spring, Western Region office of Armenian National
Committee of America has started the mobilization works of American
Armenian voters.
As reports Armenpress, referring to the statement spread by ANCA,
it has fully embraced the participation of American Armenians in the
elections, thus, in the works of increasing the votes of Armenians.
Los Angeles, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, and other municipalities
around Southern California will be holding elections throughout the
spring and the Armenian-American vote will play a significant role
in determining the outcomes in those areas.
During whirlwind election season in 2012, an initiative of the Armenian
National Committee of America - Western Region (ANCA-WR) registered
nearly 5000 new voters, the massive voter education, registration,
and turnout efforts in the Armenian community.
"We will continue to work with organizations who share the core
principle with the ANCA of trying to make our community a better
place through grassroots effort," ANCA-WR External Affairs Deputy,
Tereza Yerimyan said.
As part of making voter outreach a part of every election cycle,
the ANC-WR has joined the Los Angeles Voter Engagement Coalition
(LAVEC) where it works with other organizations, like the California
Participation Project, and the Los Angeles City Clerk's office,
to increase the number of voters throughout the City of Los Angeles.
