Voting - Your American "Super Power"
As a United States citizen, one of your most powerful privileges is your Right to Vote. This "right," for many, has not been as entitlement for as long as you might think. In our nation's early history (1790's), voting was reserved mostly for white male property owners. Former male slaves were given the right to vote in 1870; and the Women's Suffrage Movement helped females achieve the right to vote in 1920. Still, discrimination was rampant. In 1965, the Voting Rights Act granted protections to many in order to ensure this fundamental right. These strides continue today.
As Superintendent of Elections, the goals of this office are Voter Registration, Education and Outreach. Given the fact that local elections in the last decade have been determined by as few as ONE vote, there is no doubt that YOU can make a difference. My team and I hope to encourage all Atlantic County residents to Register to Vote and to exercise their Super Power at the polls on Election Day. Please contact our Outreach Department today and we will help take the intimidation out of the registration and voting process.
Reach out today and take the ever-important first step in becoming a proud Atlantic County Registered Voter.
Kindest Regards,
Maureen G. Bugdon
AUDREY S. MILES
Atlantic County
Deputy Superintendent of Elections &
Deputy Commissioner of Registration
It is a privilege to serve as the first Deputy Superintendent of Elections in Atlantic County. The past two years in this office have given me a clearer picture of the Primary and General Election processes in the County. It is a well-coordinated effort within our office as well as a collaborative effort with the offices of the Board of Elections and the County Clerk.
The Superintendent and I work closely on all matters. My focus continues to be that of this office, which is to work to maintain voter integrity and ensure that every person in Atlantic County who is eligible to vote gets that opportunity.
As the Superintendent has pointed out, this was not always an opportunity afforded to all citizens and unfortunately even today, there are those who are trying to find ways to suppress or interfere with those rights that so many fought and died for. Here in Atlantic County, we participate in community outreach events to register voters and educate them on the importance of, and their right to participate, in all elections. Voting gives you a voice, in the decisions of your town, your county, your state and your country.
