Kent Farmers' Market 2nd and 4th Saturdays
Voter registration at the Kent Farmers’ Market must be done outside the entrance to the market. We recommend one of two options: You can carry a tote bag that contains a clipboard and voter-registration forms and information and talk with people as they enter. Or, you can set up a small table and a sandwich-board-type sign to let people know they can register to vote or update their address at the table. To volunteer, click here. Review the available slots (only one slot per day) and choose the one that works best for you. Feel free to find another person to join if you wish. We will contact you prior to your scheduled date to get the necessary supplies to you.

Register voters, update voter registrations, share voting information. Time slot are two hours long. The schedule is designed to always have two people at the booth with one person rotating out each hour and another person joining. This is a fun, shady location with lots of art, food and music.
