Let's Vote DeKalb is a grass roots, community driven effort sphere-headed by Commissioner Lorraine Cochran-Johnson, in association with Indivisible Georgia Coalition, DeKalb Democrats, and the NAACP. It is a non-partisan organization created to encourage greater voter participation through active community engagement and strategic voter initiatives geared towards schools, places of worship, community centers, and community mobilization. As a body we seek to ensure 100% voter participation among DeKalb residents.
