Brenda Murphy is the Chair of SJ Votes and she tells CHSJ News elected officials may not give those neighbourhoods the attention it deserves if the turnout is low.
She says voter turnout improves in those neighbourhoods, it sends a strong message that residents are engaged and want to see public officials respond to their needs.
SJ Votes will help get people out to the ballot box by helping arrange transportation and child care on election day.
She says full details will be released in the coming weeks.
