Hi,
Our democracy only works when we all participate, which is why our New Voters Project helps young people get registered and turn out to vote every election by making voting fun and engaging on our campuses! National Voter Registration Day is coming up on September 19th and is a great opportunity to help others get registered to vote!
StudentVote.org is the one-stop shop of student voting. So for National Voter Registration Day we want to promote this tool widely to help students get registered and get connected to important voting resources!
Here are 3 actions you can do to celebrate:
-
Activate campus email listservs - We can reach a ton of students just by emailing them with non-partisan voting resources. Here is a sample email to send out to your friends and classmates
-
Post on social media - promote our voting resources by posting on social media! You can reach out to our own networks and ask other groups and people to post as well. Check out our social media toolkit for sample posts and graphics
-
Organize a visibility table - talking to students directly about the importance of voting is one of the best ways to get them engaged. Organize a fun, visible table on your campus to educate students about StudentVote.org! We can hook you up with some free swag and flyers by filling out our Campaign in a Box interest form
For more information and resources to take these actions, check out our National Voter Registration Day Action Toolkit
