Seniors & Voting
Canterfield Came Out to Vote!
Americans over the age of 55 are the most reliable voters in any given election — and our Canterfield family proved just that! All nine of our locations across the Southeast participated in early voting.
Some communities had voting polls brought to the community whereas others shuttled residents to the polling station.
According to U.S. News, Seniors turn out to vote in such high numbers due to a greater sense of social obligation. They are long-time residents of their communities and they have a strong interest in “ensuring their voices are heard regarding deacons that will shape their future.”
"Older citizens come from a time when voting was an event and everyone participated. Going to the polling place on election day was an opportunity to see your friends and neighbors also carrying out their civic duty," said Patti Dubois, a member of the Committee for Safe and Secure Elections and city clerk in Waterville, Maine, in an email.
We hope all Americans 18 and older take a lesson from their elders and get out to vote!
