ROGERS, Ark. — The Arkansas League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan organization, is holding a voter registration drive-thru in Rogers this weekend.
If you didn't get a chance to make it on the first day, you can still stop by Saturday (Aug. 22). It is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Hibachi Grill parking lot north of the Walmart Supercenter on Walnut Street in Rogers, across the street from Hobby Lobby.
You will be able to fill out your voter registration application from the safety and convenience of your own car. All you have to do is put your mask on, and someone will walk up to your car.
The personnel working at this event will be wearing masks and face shields. There will also be sanitizers on hand, and everyone will be following all precautions for safety.
Everyone 18 and older is welcome to attend the event and register to vote.
Tuesday (Aug. 18) marked 100 years since women gained the right to vote, with the adoption of the 19th Amendment.
On Aug. 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th state to ratify the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, accomplishing a huge milestone for the women's suffrage movement.
It was now a right for women to be allowed to vote across the country.
The 19th Amendment states, “the rights of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”
