Get-Out-the-Vote Drives

Even if you’ve done everything in your power to prepare people to vote, there’s no guarantee everyone will make it to the polls on Election Day.

However, even the simplest actions yield great results.  Basic information – a reminder on Election Day that says where to go and when the polls close – is proven to have a strong impact on voter turnout.

Action items:

• Set up a call bank to remind employees and their families about Election Day.
• Mobilize team members to knock on office doors or stop by cubicles.
• Distribute information through paycheck stuffers. 
• Leave flyers on desks.
• Hang posters in lunchrooms and other public areas.
• Post a reminder on the front page of your company Intranet.
• Use a voicemail tree or send out a broadcast email with a reminder and voting information
• Send an email to employees on Election Day, reminding them to vote and driving them to the polling place locator on your grassroots website's voter registration tool.
• Post a message on your company or association's Facebook page, or Tweet out a reminder, on Election Day, encouraging employees to vote and linking to information about where they can cast their ballot.
