the candidates. Following is a step-by-step process for organizing a voter
registration drive.
A. Recruit a Committee
Persuade your congregation’s hunger task force, social justice committee, women’s group, Bible study group, or campus group to organize a
voter registration drive.
B. Obtain Permission
Seek permission from the proper authorities, such as the pastor or
council, campus dean of students, or leaders of the student government.
Anticipate probable questions, prepare responses, and practice before presenting your case. (See rules in D.)
C. Build a Relationship with Local Election Officials
The county registrar or board of elections office should be your partner
throughout the process. They can supply you with registration applications and state/local requirements. Get their contact information through
the state board of elections or secretary of state’s office.
