As the 2024 election season approaches, LISC Houston is not just preparing to cast ballots, we are mobilizing to amplify the voices of our entire community. At LISC, we believe that true community development extends beyond bricks and mortar. Community development is about building the foundation of a thriving democracy, where every citizen feels empowered to participate. This belief has sparked a passionate commitment to voter engagement that runs deep within our organization.
Some of us like to vote early while others enjoy the camaraderie of voting on Election Day but beneath these varied preferences lies a unifying conviction: voting is not just a civic duty, but a privilege.
Our latest video covers essential voting information: how to check your voter registration status or register to vote, options for voting by mail, voting early, or finding your voting center to vote on Election Day, and tools to learn about candidates on your ballot.
If your voting plan is established and you are ready to increase your commitment to your community, but you are wondering if your voice matters, we have just the tool for you!

This resource is designed to demystify local government and empower you to engage effectively with your representatives. Whether you are concerned about local infrastructure, education policies, or community programs, understanding how to navigate the system is crucial for making your voice heard.
At LISC Houston, we’re committed to being your partner in civic engagement. We believe that an informed, engaged community is the cornerstone of positive change. That’s why we are continually working to provide resources, information, and support to help you navigate the civic landscape.
Remember, your vote is just the beginning. By staying informed, engaged, and active in local government processes, you can play a crucial role in shaping the future of Houston. Whether it’s attending a city council meeting, organizing a community initiative, or simply staying informed about local issues, every action counts!
