Local 464A Voter Registration Drive

UFCW Local 464A President John T. Niccollai today announced the start of a Voter Registration drive for all union members who are not currently registered to vote in New Jersey or New York. The goal of the drive is to bring more members to the polls as important national primary and general elections loom for 2008. The drive makes Local 464A members who register, and Shop Stewards who administer the application process, eligible for one of six cash prizes to be drawn during a future General Membership Meeting.

Said Niccollai:

"With the important issues that have come to the forefront over the past several years, it is vital that our members exercise their right to voice their opinions by voting for the candidates of their choice. Step one is to register in their state and county of residence. With this drive, I intend to make voter registration easy and convenient for our members who are not already registered. Then there can be no excuse for not exercising this important right of American citizenship"

Each member who registers to vote will have his/her name entered into a drawing to be eligible for a chance to win a cash prize in the following sums:

$500.00
$250.00
$100.00
$ 75.00
$ 50.00

Each Shop Steward who gathers ten or more properly completed voter registration applications will have his/her name entered into a drawing to be eligible to win a cash prize of $500.00.

The drawings will take place at a future General Membership Meeting to be announced.
