The Our Homes, Our Votes: 2022 webinar series features experts with frontline election experience to walk through every step of voter and candidate engagement activities and support housing organizations’ nonpartisan election efforts. The next webinar, “Early Voting and Vote-by-Mail,” will be held today (Monday, September 19) at 2:30 pm ET. Register for the webinar here.
Early voting and vote-by-mail are important options for people who might face obstacles to voting on Election Day – including people with inflexible schedules, childcare responsibilities, or limited transportation options. The COVID-19 pandemic has made vote-by-mail an especially important option when it comes to ensuring that voting is accessible to all. Panelists in the upcoming webinar will discuss how to navigate state laws and incorporate early voting and vote-by-mail into get-out-the-vote (GOTV) strategies. The panel will feature Bryce Bennett, project director at Vote Early Day, and Cris Wegner, GOTV coordinator at Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition. Courtney Cooperman, housing advocacy organizer at NLIHC, will provide an update on National Voter Registration Day, social media activation plans for National Voter Education Week, and other resources.
Our Homes, Our Votes webinars will be held on a biweekly basis until the week that follows the 2022 midterm elections. View the full schedule for the webinar series here.
