We're setting a Kensington Voter Engagement fundraising goal this year to increase voter turnout in the neighborhood, and we need your help.

During the May 2023 primary election, the two voting wards that make up most of Kensington Voice's service area – Wards 7 and 33 – had the lowest voter turnouts in the city, at 10.62% and 11.19% respectively. The citywide turnout was 27.48%.
Therefore, Kensington Voice hopes to raise money for an intervention that aims to increase voter turnout by increasing access to voter registration and mail-in application forms in the 19134, 19133, 19125, and 19122 ZIP codes.
