For Karli Swift of Atlanta, easy access to voting isn’t just about location, it’s about fitting it into a busy schedule.

“It’s hard trying to find the time to go, so when you can just call and have scheduled your ride to the polls, it makes sure that you actually get it done,” said Swift.

A van from the New Georgia Project’s Ride to the Polls program scooped up Swift at her home last week and drove her to an early voting site in DeKalb County.
