BLOOMINGTON — Monroe County National Organization for Women (MCNOW) has partnered with UBER to offer free roundtrip rides to early voting and on Election Day to Monroe County polling locations for the third consecutive year. This offer is eligible to any Monroe County resident using money granted by the National Organization for Women Foundation. Both students and non-students alike are welcome to use this service.
MCNOW is a member of the Big Ten Voting Challenge Steering Committee at Indiana University. The National Organization for Women Foundation announced April 12th that it would fund the “Get Out the Vote” efforts of the Monroe County coalition for another year.
“For many years while volunteering at polling locations, we heard that transportation was one of the biggest barriers to getting to vote so we made partnering with a rideshare service a top priority,” Monroe County NOW Vice-President Natalia Galvan stated. “We are committed to do all we can to remove as many obstacles to voting as possible.”
Interested Monroe County residents are asked to use the URL: iu.turbovote.org that links to a free roundtrip UBER ride to Election Operations at 302 S. Walnut St. during Early Voting or to access their polling site on Election Day.
