Pastor urges ‘Souls to the Polls’ free transit for May 19 election; county reminds voters about absentee deadlines
Summary
A pastor urged use of free fixed-route transportation on election day through a partnership called "Souls to the Polls." County officials reminded residents about vote-by-mail and absentee ballot deadlines ahead of the May 19 election.
During the public comment period, Pastor Larry Walter of Shiloh Baptist Church urged county officials and the public to use a community partnership offering free fixed-route transportation to polling sites on election day.
Pastor Walter said the program, in partnership with Rabbit Transit and the York County Community Foundation, will offer free rides on fixed routes throughout the day and encouraged residents to vote: "on election day for the entire day, we'll have free transportation souls to the polls, so get out and vote." He provided contact information for the church and Rabbit Transit for those needing more details.
The board president reminded the public that the deadline to change voter registration had passed but that residents could still request a vote-by-mail or absentee ballot and urged those who received ballots to return them ahead of May 19.
