The first step in expanding voter participation among low-income renters is to ensure they are registered. This webinar will provide a review of effective messaging that increases voter registration and tips on how to overcome the voter apathy that is so common in low-income communities. The session will also cover how to include voter registration at gatherings, host successful events for large-scale registration, and table at community events. It will also explore door-to-door canvassing operations to register new voters in buildings and neighborhoods with low registration rates.
NLIHC provides an array of nonpartisan resources, tools, and training on increasing voter registration and turnout among low-income renters and on engaging candidates leading up to the 2020 elections, including these webinars and podcasts covering many facets of voter and candidate engagement, featuring experts and advocates with frontline experience.
