How to Organize a Staff Meeting Voter Registration Drive
Encouraging your employees to register to vote at a regular or special staff meeting couldn’t be easier. Here’s all you will need:
Voter Registration Forms: Print out as many as you need, or pick up copies at your County Elections Office or your local post office.
When talking about voter registration at a staff meeting or company event, let your employees know why you think it is important that you personally talk with them about registering to vote. Tell them why you are interested in this election and why they should be too. Use company examples when appropriate.
Talking points to guide your discussion:
Decisions made by our state’s elected officials affect the ability of companies like ours to survive, grow and compete. Our state lawmakers make decisions daily about our economy, health care, education, taxes, and maintaining our roads and bridges.
These issues directly impact you and your family.
It’s important that we have strong business-minded legislators who understand economic development and what it takes to grow jobs in our state.
Your vote is your voice on issues and candidates that affect you and your prosperity in Washington state.
Pass out Voter Registration forms to those who are not yet registered or who have had an address/name change. Suggest they take forms home so their family members can register too.
Your voter registration information is a private matter. You can mail the form in yourself, or put it in the company envelope available at [Company Address] with others that will be mailed in together before [date].
Our company is part of Enterprise Washington’s GROW Program, a nonpartisan voter education program organized by hundreds of other employers. They help us learn about the election issues and candidates that will affect our economy.
Our goal is to encourage your involvement, not to promote a particular political philosophy or to tell you how to vote.
Later you’ll have access to nonpartisan information on how the candidates running for office in your district themselves say they will vote on issues that affect our economy and our company.
But we won’t tell you how to vote. That important decision is an individual one and is completely up to you.
