Marcia Allen, the acting chairperson of the Vance County Democratic Party, appeared on WIZS Town Talk Wednesday at 11 a.m.
Allen said she is “excited” about the energy coming through the Vance County Democratic headquarters located at 131 S. Garnett St. in Henderson and urged the public to visit or call (252) 204-2606 with questions or comments.
Before casting a ballot in this election, Allen said it is imperative that voters consider issues from “a people standpoint, not a personal standpoint.”
“You may not be impacted directly by Medicaid, food stamps or access to healthcare, but someone in your family or someone close to you will be impacted by these issues that are on the ballot,” stated Allen.
Allen continued, “It really boils down to the haves, and the have nots. The haves are trying to take everything and keep everything from the have nots. The Democratic Party is a party for the people, not just the haves but the haves and the have nots.”
Addressing absentee ballots, Allen reminded the public that those who initiate the absentee ballot request process and then decide to vote in-person must contact their local Board of Elections (BOE) office to void the mail-in process.
One-Stop Early Voting for the November 3, 2020 General Election will be available for Vance County voters October 15-31 at the Aycock Recreation Complex and Henderson Operation Center (click here for more details, including dates and times).
“Please go vote,” Allen encouraged. “There are a number of things on the ballot other than names that will impact us. We don’t want to wake up on November 4 and not have access to the liberties that we were accustomed to.”
