the San Fernando Valley are working together through the ANC and AYF
to contact thousands of Armenian Americans, by phone, flyers and by
going door to door urging them to head to the polls on November 4th.
"This election cycle presents tremendous opportunities for Armenian
Americans to express themselves through voting," said Nichan Kulukian,
chairman of the ANC-WSFV. "Whether it is on the foreign or domestic
policy front, we cannot allow ourselves to remain on the sidelines

serve the elderly or disabled community, the ANC-WSFV and the AYF
Sardarabad Chapter is providing transportation to polling sites for
residents of the San Fernando Valley on November 4th. Individuals or
those who know of individuals who need a ride to and from the polls

opportunity to vote in this crucial election," said Sam Bebekian,
chairman of the AYF Sardarabad Chapter. "For many of our members, this
is their first election in which they can vote so they are inspired
to help others also participate in this fundamental civic privilege."
