This is a final reminder to encourage any and all eligible citizens to cast their ballots in tomorrow’s general election.
The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago (CIOGC) and our member organizations have been working hard to increase political awareness among our community, register as many voters as possible, and encourage Muslims to fulfill their civic duty of voting. We urge you to share this message and encourage your family, friends, and others to get out the vote!
Beyond the presidential race, it is critical to vote at the local, state, and federal level. Below you will find links and resources that will help you cast your ballot and make your voice heard in this year’s elections!
