Make A Plan To Vote: Hosting an Empowering Voter Education Event | Circles USA Webinar

Join Circles NWA for an energizing webinar designed to equip your Circles community with the tools and knowledge you’ll need to host a successful “Make A Plan To Vote” event in advance of November’s general elections. During this webinar, you’ll learn how to organize and execute an engaging evening of nonpartisan info-sharing, logistical planning, and exploring ways to build community involvement. You’ll take away from this one-time event:
- How to break down the essentials of voting, including where and how to register and vote; finding your sample ballot; and understanding districts and precincts.
- Essential handouts, websites, and resources for use at your chapter event.
- Understanding various government job roles on the ballot (e.g., “What does a County Clerk do?”) and their potential positive impact on the community.
- The importance of local elections and their impact on everyday life for people experiencing poverty.
- How to locate “hard to find” public information on ballot issues, candidates, and positions.
- Strategies to ensure your event focuses on holistic voter education without advocating for specific candidates, political parties, or other legal missteps that may endanger nonprofit status.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll have a clear roadmap for hosting an event that educates voters and mobilizes them to participate confidently in the upcoming general elections-and in future elections critical to ending poverty in our communities.
