Help Your Community Vote: A Practical Handbook for Nonpartisan Voter Engagement [9798890573339]

Overview

The definitive practical handbook for nonprofit staff and community leaders who want to engage more voters legally, effectively, and confidently in the democratic process.

Nonprofits are among the country’s most trusted institutions and have extraordinary reach into communities that political campaigns routinely overlook. Yet many nonprofit leaders who want to encourage civic participation hesitate because voter engagement feels complicated, time-consuming, or legally risky.

Help Your Community Vote gives them a clear way forward.

Created by Nonprofit VOTE, the nation’s leading resource for nonpartisan nonprofit voter engagement, this practical handbook brings proven strategies, legal guidance, planning tools, examples, and training resources together in one place. Readers can use the book from beginning to end or turn directly to the section they need when planning a campaign, training volunteers, or approaching an election deadline.

Readers will learn how to

• build organizational support for voter engagement and connect the work to their mission;
• register voters while following federal and state rules;
• create effective voter-education programs and candidate forums;
• talk with voters, conduct outreach, and respond to common questions;
• plan GOTV and election-reminder campaigns; and
• measure results, fund the work, and turn voter engagement into an ongoing organizational practice.

Worksheets, planning grids, real-world examples, pro tips, and companion online resources help organizations move quickly from good intentions to effective action.
