DO MORE THAN JUST REGISTER!
When we go to register voters, we're actually doing much more!
MAKING DEMOCRACY REAL
When a non-partisan group like LWV is publicly promoting registration, we're helping everyone to realize their responsibility and privilege as citizens in a democracy. We're helping democracy happen!PUBLICIZING VOTING
Our registration efforts help keep everyone aware of elections happening soon, and remind them to be aware of approaching deadlines for the beginning and end of early voting, and the date of Election Day.CHECKING REGISTRATION
Voters may not realize the importance of checking their registration to be sure that their name is still on the roll in the correct precinct, with their current name and address--and we can show them how easy it is, with just a couple of clicks on the phone. Many may have forgotten to update changes in address or name, so just by being visible we can remind them.EDUCATING VOTERS ABOUT CANDIDATES AND ISSUES
Voters need reminders about upcoming elections--and LWV's Vote411 website gives them plenty of detail about ALL candidates running for office. We can help them determine their ballot for local elections, remind them of big issues, and explain those "questions," as well as giving them reasons to vote! Voters can learn about candidates and races in their district with the LWV Voter Guide.GETTING OUT THE VOTE
We keep the elections in full view for the public. We talk to many people, most of whom may be registered but unaware of the need to make a plan for voting. Some don't know where to vote and some will forget if they don't see us out there!
