Why Vote?

Alief is a vibrant community, rich in cultural diversity and resilience, but we face significant challenges when it comes to voter turnout. Historically, Alief has had low propensity voter turnout, meaning many of our neighbors don’t head to the polls. This leaves our community underrepresented in critical decisions that shape our future. AliefVotes was created to change that by empowering Alief ISD students and residents through civic education, voter registration, and engagement efforts.

​

Our mission is simple: to build a stronger, more informed community where every voice matters. By addressing barriers to voting and engaging our youth, we can help shift the culture of political apathy into one of active participation.
