There are many ways you can
help increase voter participation and stay active in the electoral process.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
-
Call the Secretary of
State’s office at 404-656-2871 to request voter
registration applications for distribution at your place of business. These are postage paid forms which can be completed and individually
mailed by the applicant. The form
may also be downloaded in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format.
-
Hold a special
voter registration drive.
-
Set up a link from your web
site to the Secretary of State’s web site via www.sos.state.ga.us/elections.
-
Serve as a poll worker for
upcoming elections. Contact your local county elections official to find out
how to volunteer as a poll worker and serve your community.
-
Talk to your family,
friends, neighbors, and co-workers about the importance of voting and civic
participation.
-
Write
to your elected
officials. Many legislators
receive as few as 20 letters on a significant issue, and you can play a role
in shaping your elected official’s opinion.
-
Read
your local newspaper and educate yourself on the issues that are prevalent
in your community. Look for opportunities to get involved in community
activities.
-
Volunteer with a local
interest group that provides opportunities to work on an issue that
interests you.
-
Write
a contributing article in your local newspaper about current events that
affect you and your community.
