At our last general meeting, we talked a great deal about the importance of encouraging friends, family and neighbors to register to vote for the upcoming midterm elections. One of the best (and most fun!) ways to increase voter registration numbers and encourage participation at the polls in November is to participate in voter registration events in your community.
Many RVUSA members are organizing drives here on Long Island and are looking for volunteers. If you would like to participate in an upcoming drive, please contact us and we’ll help you find an event where you can help.
You can also organize your own voter registration drive in your local community! Here are some resources to help you get started:
