The Civics Center is offering high school students a $150 Gift Card for helping their school get ready to vote during High School Voter Registration Week, September 23, 2024 – September 27, 2024.
The steps required to run a Voter Registration Drive are:
- Sign up for two 1-hour virtual workshops which explain the facts about voting in your state and how to run a successful voter registration drive.
- Plan and run your event by requesting materials and submitting your action plan.
- Submit a post-drive report to help tally your registrations.
Election Day is November 5. That’s why we’re planning ahead:
- Attend a training early, so you’re good to go by September.
- Talk to your teachers / administrators, and get your drive on the school calendar for fall.
- Leave plenty of time for promoting your drive so that everyone knows when it is and what to bring.
