Get Registered to Vote Toolkit
Overview
In 2020, we broke records with voter turnout in Indian Country.
In 2022 we need to use our power, our vote, again. We need to start by making sure all our relatives are registered to vote where they live.
Who is this toolkit for?
This toolkit is for Native community leaders and Indigenous-led organizations to encourage, support, and amplify Indigenous peoples’ voices at the ballot box. Help us spread the word about the importance of making sure we are registered to vote where we live.
How to use this toolkit?
Use the sample social posts and graphics below—and please, customize them to your own voice and tone—to share messages through your organization’s, tribe’s, or your own social channels.
When to use this toolkit?
This toolkit should be used to highlight the importance of making sure that all Native people are registered to vote between NOW and the deadline to register to vote, depending on where you live.
