Elections/Election Campaigns
Programs that arrange for the participation (usually by mail) in elections by qualified voters who, because of serious illness, military service or absence from home for business or other reasons, are unable to appear at the polls in person on election day.
Programs that publish and/or distribute voter information guides, sample ballots and other materials that provide information regarding the positions of rival candidates in an election, summaries of the pros and cons of specific ballot measures (including potential costs to taxpayers and arguments for and against individual measures prepared by proponents and opponents), rules for same day voter registration and general information about precinct boundaries, the location and hours of polling places, early voting options, secured vote by mail ballot drop-off locations (where available), as well as other details regarding the content or the mechanics of the election.
Programs that employ door-to-door canvassing, direct mail campaigns, telephone calls prior to and on election day, poll watching and pick-up, and voter support services (such as rides to the polls or child care) as strategies for getting people out to vote on election day.
Community organizations, churches and other facilities that have been designated as places where people can vote during local, county, state and national elections. Included are polling sites for the election of school board members as well as those for elections involving political offices.
Government offices that provide copies of voter registration applications and maintain official records of individuals who have exercised their right to participate in the election process by registering to vote. Included are the local Registrar of Voters offices and other government offices through which people can obtain and file their registration forms; and offices that are responsible for managing online voter registration. In order to qualify, people must be citizens; age 18 or older; and residents of the state, county/municipal district or precinct for at least 30 days. People are required to re-register if they change their names, their addresses or their party affiliations.
