Mobile vote center at haunted little tokyo block party until 9pm

On October 25, 2024, in Los Angeles, California, the Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment (CAUSE) introduced a Mobile Vote Center at the annual Haunted Little Tokyo Block Party. This event is part of a larger initiative aimed at increasing voter participation among younger demographics, which historically demonstrate lower turnout rates in elections. The Vote Center will remain open until 9 PM PT to accommodate attendees of the block party, which draws thousands each year. The Haunted Little Tokyo Block Party, organized by the Little Tokyo Ghost Club, features a variety of entertainment options, including DJs, food vendors, a full bar, and costume contests. CAUSE has dedicated the event to educating attendees about voting and civic engagement, with activities designed to make the experience enjoyable and informative. With the 2024 General Election approaching, CAUSE has launched the Together We Vote: An API Get Out The Vote Fest, a campaign promoting civic engagement in Asian Pacific Islander neighborhoods. This campaign reflects CAUSE's longstanding mission to empower the Asian Pacific American community through nonpartisan voter outreach and education. By facilitating a fun and accessible voting experience within the context of a celebrated community event, CAUSE hopes to inspire greater participation among young voters, fulfilling the organization's goal of fostering active civic engagement in the demographic that constitutes the future of American democracy.
