- Description:
- Press release from the Voter Education Project announcing Harold Sims successful election as VEP's President in 1986, with Geraldine Thompson being re-elected as Executive Director. A new thrust for VEP was adopted, placing equal emphasis on voter education and voter registration. The new thrust also placed the bulk of the organization's funds raised for voter registration in the hands of local groups performing voter registration work. This new direction for VEP reflected the organization's commitment to increasing voter participation and ensuring that all Americans have the opportunity to vote.
