New Voter Registration Toolkit

Many states and municipalities have upcoming registration deadlines, so it's the perfect time to talk about one of our favorite voter engagement basics--voter registration!

We're pleased to present our new Voter Registration Toolkit for Nonprofits and Social Service Agencies. This toolkit describes the role nonprofits can play in registering voters and comes with:
  • Seven Basic Principles for Agency-Based Voter Registration. This outline is accompanied by an easy-to-use checklist to help you plan and track your registration activities.
  • A "Register to Vote" poster, available in either English or Spanish, to help you publicize your registration efforts.
  • Seven Reasons Your Nonprofit Should Register Voters. This handout describes how voter registration benefits your organization, your clients, and your community.
  • An online guide to voter registration for all 50 states. It includes information on eligibility and registration deadlines, links to check your registration status or download a registration form, and contact information for state and local elections officials.
The toolkit is available in both English and Spanish. Download the toolkit and associated materials directly from our website or order a print copy.
