Learn about election-related dates, vote your values, and coordinate efforts to help community members do the same
Suggested Practices and Examples for Implementation:
- Provide a study on democracy, voting rights, and electoral reform.
- Ask your senior minister to have a worship service focused on “The Citizen on Election Day” on the Sunday before an election.
- Invite a representative from your local Election Services office to speak to your community of faith about the registration requirements and procedures, as well as early voting dates and locations. Include any new voting requirements since the last large election.
- Host a voter registration event at your church or gathering. Continue to provide voter registration forms, instructions, and voting location/date/time information for several weeks prior to the registration deadline.
- Encourage members to train for and conduct voter registration drives in your local community/town/city.
- Attend public meetings of your local Board of Elections.
