Get Out the Vote

As trusted messengers, nonprofits are well positioned to help their communities participate and vote.Consider how your nonprofit can ensure that your constituents, staff, and community members have the assistance and information they need to vote on or before Election Day. Sometimes all it takes is a simple reminder. Whether you use in-person contacts, phone calls, social media, mailings, or other strategies, start by reviewing the seven principles of voter mobilization.

Voter Education and Get-Out-the-Vote for Nonprofits

In the final weeks leading up to the election, you should focus on both voter education and getting out the vote. Your organization can provide information about what’s on the ballot, where and how to vote, or offer reminders that Election Day is approaching. Learn more about best practices for doing education and get-out-the-vote activities at your agency and in your community.
