Voterization

Voterization means readying your organization to effectively engage traditionally underrepresented people in civic life.

Engaging people in the voting process means more than setting voter registration forms on the front desk. NLIHC’s Voterization Plan leads you seamlessly through the process to plan voter registration, education and mobilization activities that are the right fit for your organization and your clients.

Download the attached plan and narrative to bring Voterization to your organization today. Then, contact our Outreach Team at 202-662-1530 or outreach@nlihc.org (include “Voterization” in the subject line). They want to know you’re taking part in this effort, and will help you with any questions you have along the way.
