Are your listeners and viewers #VoteReady?
September 22 is National Voter Registration Day - are your listeners and viewers #VoteReady? This year more than ever, local stations play a critical role in encouraging audiences to register and exercise their right to vote.
Here are a few ways your station can help get your community be #VoteReady on #NationalVoterRegistrationDay:
- Run NAB's radio and television voter education public service announcements in English and Spanish that are available on our 2020 Election Toolkit as much as possible leading up to September 22 and until November 3.
- Utilize the toolkit's ideas and resources to help increase voter registration, education and turnout, including tips for helping get out the vote, information on sponsoring debates and ideas for social media engagement.
- On September 22, remind your audiences to register to vote on air, online and on social media. Click here for sample scripts and use the hashtags #VoteReady and #NationalVoterRegistrationDay on your social media posts.
Please also send stories and examples of your voter education efforts to Suzie Raven, senior manager of Public Affairs, which we will highlight on WeAreBroadcasters.com and our social media channels. Together we can ensure citizens have the information they need to register to vote, cast a ballot and have their voices heard.
