With 38 days away from Election Day, a Baltimore barber is doing his part to get as many people in the city registered to vote.
Darrick Coe, the owner of 3-D Stylez Barbershop, said he wanted to use his business to drive the message of how important it is to get out and vote this November.
Coe held a discount special Saturday at his business in northeast Baltimore.
Customers who registered to vote got half-off their cuts and first-time voters got their cuts for free.
