Non-partisan voter engagement ideas

From the National Council on Non-Profits:

“Help people in your community register to vote. The team at Nonprofit VOTE has a wide range of tools to help your nonprofit ensure in a nonpartisan way that every staff member, every board member, every volunteer, and every person you serve is registered to vote. They have everything from guides on how to hold safe in-person voter registration events to online voter registration drives. They also just added a new resource on the nuts and bolts of drive-through voter registration events. And they have a rundown of registration drive rules for all 50 states and DC. Lots of additional resources are available as National Voter Registration Day approaches on September 22.

Once people are registered, vote-by-mail will likely be the preferred option for millions more people this year. Be sure to encourage everyone you know to vote early. Voto Latino has tips for voting safely during the pandemic. This New York Times interactive map shows where vote-by-mail is available and what, if any, changes have been made to make absentee voting easier this year. Axios provides this interactive map to learn about voting options in your state, which may have changed since the beginning of the pandemic. You can also visit this state-by-state listing from Vote.org for the rules, deadlines, and applications for your state.”
