The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2024 webinar series provides resources, guidance, and inspiration for organizations and individuals seeking to launch or strengthen their own nonpartisan voter and candidate engagement initiatives. The next webinar in the series, “Voter Registration 101,” will take place on Monday, May 20, at 2:30 pm ET. Register for the webinar.
Because renters move more frequently than homeowners, they must update their voter registration more often, which imposes yet another obstacle to casting their ballots. Voters experiencing homelessness also face unique barriers in the voter registration process. The first step to empowering low-income people to vote is providing accessible voter registration opportunities. This webinar will review strategies to incorporate registration into your organization’s day-to-day activities and organize designated voter registration events.
Chyann Sapp, campaign director of National Voter Registration Day, will present on best practices in voter registration and how to plan an activation for National Voter Registration Day 2024. Andrew West, policy associate at Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, will discuss voter registration initiatives and tips for registering voters experiencing homelessness. Courtney Cooperman, project manager of Our Homes, Our Votes, will give a walkthrough of TurboVote, a one-stop shop where voters can update their registration, check their registration status, sign up for election reminders, and learn about upcoming elections in their communities.
The webinar dates and topics are listed below. All webinars will be held from 2:30 to 3:30 pm ET. For full descriptions of each session, visit: www.ourhomes-ourvotes.org/webinars-2024
