Harrison Presidential site offers free admission for primary voters
“I voted!”
Get ready to see plenty of those stickers everywhere today and many of them may come from the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site. It’ll be a polling place for primaries today, May 8. To encourage civic duty with all voters, the Presidential Site is offering anyone (no matter where they voted) wearing their “I Voted” sticker (or showing a selfie of them wearing it) FREE ADMISSION to the site through Sunday, May 13.
Charlie Hyde, President & CEO, Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, tells us more:
The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site is encouraging civic duty in a non-partisan way.
What better place to vote than at the home of America’s Hoosier president, who opened Ellis Island, commissioned the Pledge of Allegiance and was a strong advocate for African-American voting rights?
The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site encourages civic duty as a part of its goal to be the most civically engaged Presidential Site in the U.S. and is honored to serve as a polling place.
