Broadcasters Ensure Americans are #VoteReady

Election Day is tomorrow. Are your viewers and listeners #VoteReady? This year more than ever, local stations have played a critical role in encouraging audiences to register and exercise their right to vote. Stations have donated more than $7 million in airtime to NAB's voter education public service announcements (PSAs) from the 2020 Election Toolkit. Please discontinue airing these PSAs after Election Day, November 3, and replace them with NAB's We Are Broadcasters spots that help our advocacy efforts.

NAB has shared your efforts to assist voter registration and engagement with policymakers to demonstrate the unique role that broadcasters play in keeping their audiences informed and providing the most trusted news available.

Your news crews may be facing difficult situations as they cover the elections. Please take a look at this sample News Gathering Security Plan created by Graham Media and encourage your journalists to stay safe while covering the election returns from the field.
