Where: Outside the State Board of Elections office (441 N. Harrington St., Raleigh)

When: 1:00 PM on Wednesday, September 10, one month before the October 10 deadline to register to vote.

Why: To reveal the stories and data about who is losing their right to vote under the new law and to alert citizens what they can do to avoid harm.
