4 FUN Ways You Can Have a Voter’s Voice & EVERYTHING You Need to Know to Get Out & Vote!
Election day is in 10 days! Here are some FUN ways to have a voice in your community and everything you need to know to vote here in town.
Make It an Event
If you have an outdoor space where you can hang out while social distancing, that’s great. Turn postcard writing or phone banking into more of a social activity which is an easy way to encourage friends to embrace their activist side. Ask each person to bring all their own essentials for safety—a clipboard, a drink (wine is totally fair game), and a pen (erasable is preferred if you go for the wine). You can also host over Zoom—just make sure everyone has postcards and stamps; the addresses can be circulated in a Google Doc for the whole group to reference.
Take a Break
Turn off the media of all kinds. Take a break from all the voices coming at us in social media and the news, and TALK to people in YOUR community about your local candidates. Learn all you can about who to vote for right here where we live. Make this place you live the best it can be by educating yourself and voting with knowledge and intentionality.
Get the Kids Involved
If you’re working on postcards, let them enhance the visual details—such as adding decorations or applying stamps—to bring their perspective onto the page.
Take your kids with you to vote and let them see it all in action. Let them see the line of people who are taking the time to let their voices heard. Speak to your kids in the line about the importance of this vote, and take this time to let this be a good and important memory for you and your family.
Start a Chain Reaction
If you get one person to register or to vote, then they can get more people—the more people you engage, the more the effort spreads. Even if they’re already registered, they can talk to their besties and coworkers about getting involved. This is just the beginning.
Dont’ forget you can vote early here in town till November 2nd Monday-Friday 8A-4P and Saturday the 24th & 31st 7A-11A at the Hardin County Clerk’s Office 150 N. Provident Way in Elizabethtown. Get all the info: http://www.hccoky.org/election-voter.asp.
