WHAT NONPROFITS CAN DOWe can’t endorse candidates,
but we can endorse voting!
•One Rule: A 501(c)(3) nonprofit may not support or oppose candidates for public office.
•Voter Engagement: However, 501(c)(3) may undertake a wide variety of nonpartisan voter engagement activities, including:
– Voter Registration– Voter Education– Get Out the Vote
Get OutThe Vote

GOTV PRINCIPLES• Make it Personal: Personal
contact works best!• Promote Turnout: Everyone’s
doing it. Turnout’s expected to be high
• Create Urgency: There’s a lot at stake. On issues, for your nonprofit, for the community
• Make it Easy: Voting’s easy to do
Get OutThe Vote

Content is important. The messenger is more important
• Use positive messages– Your voice, your vote– Stand up and be counted– You decide - Don’t let others decide for
you.
• Avoid negative ones– Scale back voter suppression talk that
makes voting seem confusing or hard
GOTV MESSAGES
TalkingAbout Voting

• Your relationship with your staff, constituents and community is one of your greatest assets
• Face to face interaction is most effective (social media counts too)
TALK ABOUT VOTING!

• Assume that people plan to vote and help them to do that
• Ask questions based on that assumption:– Are you voting early or on Election Day?– Do you know your polling place?– What help do you need voting?
• “Scheduling an appointment” to vote– Research has shown that being asked to
think about or visualize your plan to vote increases the chance that you will vote

MORE IDEAS - THE FINAL TWO WEEKS
• Orient staff to answer basic election questions
• When providing services, ask people if they need help voting
• Hold a Get Out The Vote event (like a Trick or Vote event)
• Give out sample ballots, voter guides, palm cards
• Phone message for callers, etc.Get OutThe Vote

• Be prepared: Be able to answer questions– Where to get help voting– How to find your poll
• Ask if you voted: Ask everyone if they voted or need help voting
• Celebrate Democracy: Make Election Day special. Have a party.
