Naturalization

During the Covid-19 emergency, new citizens are naturalized by appointment at NCIS offices. Once the emergency is over, will again be able to attend naturalization ceremonies and register the new citizens to vote.

Get Out the Vote subcommittee

Is at work during every election cycle to encourage all registered voters to vote, and those unregistered to register. During each election cycle we have a different plan about how to do this. Your enthusiasm and ideas are greatly appreciated.
