Childcare for Voters
Childcare is Expensive and Shouldn’t be a Barrier to Voting
Making sure every eligible voter can vote is the bedrock of democracy. The cost of childcare can be a barrier to parents voting especially when a long line or voter intimidation is expected. At Politisit, we believe that parents shouldn't have to choose between voting and care for their children.
