get out the #VOTE!



what do we know about getting out the vote?

I know personal contact matters
peer pressure works
invite people to ask for whatever help will make their voting easier – 
child care, transportation, information about where/when to go and 
what they might need to bring

information about where/how to register, and help to do that
https://vote.gov/register
Voter registration deadlines vary by state and territory. 
Once you register, you can vote in national, state, and local elections.
CHECK YOU ARE REGISTERED REGULARLY, 
THEN EXERCISE YOUR CIVIC DUTY AND ACTUALLY VOTE!

make it fun with get out the #vote parties, after vote parties, strategy parties, 
community parties (“political parties” but the fun kind)
what else?

t seems to generally be the nonvoters that are the bulk of the electorate – 
abdication of democracy
perhaps because we don’t emphasize: voting is not a privilege, or merely a right;
voting is our basic duty as citizens in a democratic republic
Find out what keeps people from voting; do all we can to make it easier for them
