The Committee of Seventy and OnePhillyConnect are hosting several pop-up events at Philadelphia Satellite Election Offices (SEOs) to increase voter engagement ahead of the 5pm October 29th deadline to request mail-in ballots. These events will include live music performances, food, giveaways, and voter information hubs, aiming to increase awareness of the SEOs among the neighboring community and encourage voter participation.
