For over a year, people across America have come together to celebrate the power of the people. No Kings: Vote Early is an invitation to keep that spirit going with a day of community, connection, and nonpartisan voter participation.
We are taking this opportunity to organize a fun event where voters of all stripes, current and future, are celebrated.
Join us at Emerald Glen Park for a relaxed, joyful afternoon designed for parents, kids, and neighbors to connect, enjoy the fresh air, and take part in our American civic life together. In celebration of the season, costumes are encouraged!
Here’s what’s in store: - Fun for Kids: Face painting, hands-on craft stations, and carnival-style games. - Mock Voting: A playful way for kids and parents to practice democracy. - Meet &amp; Greet: Chat casually with friendly local civic leaders. - Nonpartisan Voter Info: Voter registration, information on early voting and ballot safety with zero political pitches. - Stroll to the Polls: Bring your ballot and join us for a group walk to drop off completed ballots together at the Wave ballot drop box.
Stop by for twenty minutes or stay for the whole afternoon, whatever fits your family's rhythm. Bring the kids, enjoy the park, and build community.
No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
