Voter Registration Training Sessions

Farris.
The St. Johns Democratic Party is registered as a
Third-Party for the purpose of doing voter registration. In charge of this effort is Gary Farris, who
is offering training sessions for those interested in getting out into the
community to register voters.
If you are interested in participating through the
Democratic Party with voter registration, you need to be aware that our voter
registration forms are numbered and we are responsible for every single one of
them. It is a big responsibility to take
on this obligation as there are financial penalties for lost forms.
