Event Description:
Join Project HALO, Greater Cleveland Congregations (GCC), and a broad coalition of community partners including Ohioans for the Rule of Law, Buckeye Veterans Coalition, and Cleveland Votes, for the Joy of Voting 250, a public celebration designed to bring neighbors together, support voters, and highlight the role communities play in making elections accessible, welcoming, and trusted.
Taking place in the garden at Trinity Cathedral from 1:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m. on the last day of early voting for the primary election, the event will feature live music, food, and family-friendly activities alongside opportunities for attendees to connect with local organizations and learn how to get involved in supporting elections as volunteers, poll workers, or community leaders.
The Joy of Voting 250 reflects a simple idea: when communities show up for one another, participation becomes easier, and confidence grows.
