The Committee of 100 YP, a local organization of civically engaged young professionals, will host the semi-annual Rock the Vote event at Stovehouse in Huntsville on April 24, 2022, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Rock the Vote is a free event where the attendees have the opportunity to meet local officials and candidates for upcoming local elections one-on-one, register to vote and learn more about the district they reside in.
“The 2022 Rock the Vote event is an effort to drive voter registration and engagement,” says Rock the Vote Committee co-chair Caroline Kennedy. “We want North Alabama constituents to feel connected to the election process by meeting their elected officials and candidates for office. Our goal is to empower Alabama residents to learn who governs our area and how to get involved, and we do this in a fun, social atmosphere that brings people together.”
Rock the Vote 2022 is the only official Rock the Vote event in Alabama. The committee of 100 YP group has hosted the social event every other year since 2008. Rock the Vote 2020 garnered an overwhelmingly positive community response with more than 500 attendees and dozens of candidates participating. This year’s event is expected to be even larger.
“The year, we’ll be hosting our eighth Rock the Vote social. The cooperative spirit of Rock the Vote works to further our mission of serving as a catalyst for young leaders through collaboration, training, and civic engagement,” says John Allen, chief executive officer of Committee of 100.
