Tips for Agency-Based Voter Registration

  • Make sure that 100% of the staff are registered to vote.
  • Use the enclosed poster in your agency’s lobby.
  • Have registration cards readily available in the reception areas and/or with the receptionist.
  • Display posters and pamphlets encouraging registration in the reception area.
  • Create a drop box for completed registration cards in the reception area.
  • Canvass reception area multiple times throughout the day encouraging people to register.
  • Educate colleagues and staff members about the importance of voter registration. For example, discuss and share contents of the voter registration packet in staff meetings.
  • Hold a contest in your agency/ organization. Give a prize to the staff member that registers the most clients.
  • Make voter registration part of intake.

If you need any more information and/or additional voter registration cards call or stop by the Institute for the Advancement of Political Social Work Practice at the UConn School of Social Work (Room 331), the Secretary of State’s Office, or your Town Clerk.
