Today is National Voter Registration Day! |
|
Today marks the 10th anniversary of this nationwide celebration of democracy. Charitable nonprofits are excellent messengers for nonpartisan election activities and “Get Out the Vote” campaigns. In fact, according to an Independent Sector poll, 71% of voters “think it is a good idea for nonprofits to offer voter support services, like voter registration and election day transportation.”
There's still time to participate!
-
Today, use one of these plug & play social media posts and/or graphics.
- Then head over to MANP's blog to find 10 more easy things your nonprofit can do in the lead up to Election Day on November 8th.

A big thank you to Megan Shore, our co-host from Maine Philanthropy Center, and our guests: the Honorable Shenna Bellows, Maine Secretary of State; Terence Miller, Preble Street; and Allyson Gardner, Maine Students Vote.
