Allston Civic Association heading voter registration campaign

In an article for The Bulletin, author Jeff Sullivan reports on a recent virtual meeting of the Allston Civic Association (ACA), where President Tony D’Isidoro announced plans for a major voter registration campaign in Allston-Brighton. D’Isidoro emphasized that low voter participation in local elections has limited the community’s influence on important issues, including concerns about the future of the Allston Post Office and the Jackson Mann Community Center project. The initiative aims to increase voter registration and turnout ahead of upcoming elections by providing easy access to registration resources at community events and organizations. Community leaders, including Charlesview Director Jo-Ann Barbour, voiced support for making registration materials widely available, including printed forms and multilingual information. D’Isidoro stressed that active civic engagement is essential to ensuring elected officials remain responsive to the needs of the community.
