Things to Do on Election Day

VOTE!

Lead by example. Make sure to proudly display your "I've Voted!" sticker when you're done.

Find Out if Your Employer is Required to Give Time Off to Vote

This requirement varies from state to state. Find out about your state's policy.

Maximize Your Visibility

Be creative! Get folks to stand on the side of the street with signs asking "Did You Vote Today?" Leaflet the parking lots with flyers reminding people to vote before the polls close.

Get Voters to the Polls

Find reliable multi-passenger vehicles for use on Election Day. Set up a system to keep track of who needs a ride and how to communicate that to the drivers. Find volunteers to drive the vans and work the phones. Decide if you want to offer rides all day, or just part of the day. The Democratic and Republican parties will likely be asking for volunteers to give rides as well. Visit their websites for more information.

Host an Election Night Party

Host a get-together to watch the election results!
