Suggested Practices and Examples for Implementation:
- Post voter ID rules in your facility, and have sample ballots available for your community of faith
- Help community members attain the required voter ID documents
- Offer your worship facility as a voting location (contact local Election Services)
- Organize a group of members who will be available to drive fellow community members to the polls on election day or join a community-sponsored group to drive people to the polls
- Organize interest groups from your community of faith to go to vote early. Follow up with a fellowship lunch or dinner
