10 Things to Do from Now Until Election Day

Last Updated: October 17, 2024

10 Things to Do from Now Until Election Day

1

Promote Early Voting Opportunities

Early voting can allow voters to avoid lines and prior to Election Day. Let your constituents know about their options for casting a ballot by mail or in-person at an early voting location.

2

Tie Your Mission to the Election

Help voters understand the connection between voting and the services you provide. Give your community a reason to go to the polls.

3

A Message from Leadership

An email from your CEO or Board Chair can encourages staff, volunteers, and community members to vote, provides helpful election information, and shows how your nonprofit values civic participation.

4

Advocate on Ballot Measures

Take a “yes” or “no” position on a ballot question or instead provide a nonpartisan guide to the issues explaining what a “yes” or “no” vote means.

5

Distribute Sample Ballots

Help voters familiarize themselves with who and what is on the ballot before they head to the polls.

6

Mobilize Staff and Volunteers

Educate staff and volunteers about how and when to vote and then involve them in get-out-the-vote activities.

7

Educate Voters on the Voting Process

Demystify the voting process by helping voters determine where, when, and how to vote. Look up polling locations and describe to new voters what will happen at the polls.

8

Encourage and Remind People to Vote

Incorporate voting reminders into services and programs in the two weeks leading up to Election Day. Make the election highly visible in your communications and at your agency.

9

Advertise Election Day Hotlines

Have the phone number for your local board of elections ready, as well as these national hotlines:

English 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)

Spanish 888-VE-Y-VOTA (888-839-8682)

Asian Languages 888-API-VOTE (888-274-8683)

Arabic 844-YALLA-US (844-925-5287)

10

Plan an Election Day Celebration

Create a celebratory atmosphere on Election Day and continue to remind people to vote!
