DISTRIBUTE NONPARTISAN VOTING INFORMATION TO EMPLOYEES & OTHER COMPANY STAKEHOLDERS.
Corporate America can play a critical role in expanding access to the ballot box by supporting every employee’s right to vote safely and successfully, whether on or before election day.
Ensuring that employees have the education and information that they need to cast a ballot - including information on how to register, voting methods, and the relevant dates & deadlines - is an essential function of any employee engagement strategy.
A great place to start is ElectionDay.org’s 2024 Voter Toolkit
-
The toolkit contains everything you need to engage your employees at each step of the voting process and ensure they have the information they need to register and cast their ballot beyond providing them paid time off to vote.
The toolkit’s resources include:
As election day approaches, it’s important to separate myth from fact and make sure your employees, customers, and other stakeholders know their rights when it comes to casting a ballot.
Vote.org’s Election Protection Resource Page has answers to questions including:
What are my rights as a voter?
What can I do if someone tries to prevent me from voting?
What can I do if I’m told I’m not registered to vote?
What is a provisional ballot?
What can I do if I make a mistake while filling out my ballot?
Finally, as the polls start to close your stakeholders could have questions about who counts their votes and what happens next.
Vote.org’s Guide to Understanding Election Results can help you get ahead of employee concerns such as:
How long will it take to know the winner of the election?
How do election officials know the results are accurate?
How do recounts work?
Who certifies the election results?
