As we all know too well voter registration and turn out is far to be desired at this point in time. As we ponder ideas on how to promote this important right given to all citizens the Northeast Ohio Neighborhood Health Services (NEON) has found a rather interesting approach.The NEON has supported the area's healthcare for many years, it has help countless people who live their lives with out health insurance. The vast numbers have rise to the plan to promote voting within the community by offering voter registration at the different clinic locations, but also the NEON sponsored events.This opportunity for people to get involved in the community is outstanding. All of the people that they are offering service to are getting this opportunity to shine light on the problems they face on a daily basis.

I did block walking this past year to try and get a census for the campaign office of who would be voting and for which party. I first hand can totally agree that the desire to vote is not at its best and can certainly use some aid in getting people to exercise this great right. I think the efforts of NEON are exactly what the rest of the states need as providing registration cards in more areas is easy for the people to come across and spreads awareness for those who do not know how to become registered voters.
