NLIHC Webinar on Mobilizing Voters

I voted! Housing and the ElectionSign up now to attend NLIHC’s final webinar in its 2016 Voterization series, “Mobilization: Getting Out the Vote,” taking place on Thursday, September 15 at 2:00 pm ET.  This webinar will provide attendees with the essential elements of an effective Get Out the Vote effort including effective methods of reminding voters about polling locations and times, coordinating ride services to polling locations, preparing for accessibility concerns, and assigning key roles and responsibilities to volunteers on Election Day. The webinar will also discuss best practices for early and absentee voting.

Registering and educating voters will make a difference only if voters actually turn out to the polls. A strong voter turnout by low income renters in the high-stakes 2016 election is essential to making affordable housing a high priority for policy makers. Learn how to make that happen; closed captioning will be provided. There will be ample time for attendees to share thoughts and experiences and to ask questions of the presenters.

In case you missed them, the slides and the video recordings of NLIHC’s first two Voterization webinars—“Understanding and Overcoming the Challenges of Voter Registration” and “Voter Education and Candidate Engagement”—are available at http://nlihc.org/library/voterization. Also on the website, NLIHC offers its Voterization Plan and Voterization Narrative Guide as resources to support the work of housing organizations engaging in electoral activity.
