To help your very first voter registration table go off without a hitch, we've compiled a kit of resources you might like to use.
Scroll down for the ILVOTE store or click here to place an order.
At a bare minimum, you'll need:
Clipboards & pens
buy these at a local office supply store
Voter registration forms (as well as vote by mail applications, if we're close to an election)
these are different for every election authority, so you have to get them yourself (download and print here), or from the ILVOTE leader in your County.
Something to identify your volunteers - The t-shirts are great for this; you can also wear plain white t-shirts with a couple buttons on them
To make people notice your table, you'll want some signage. The ones in this picture are on wire frames that stick in the grass. You might also consider posters to hang on the wall behind you, or simply sheets of paper that you can tape to your table.
You might also consider small buttons to decorate your table, or to give away.

For this table, Ballot-Z (one of ILVOTE's lead coalition partners) went for the whole enchilada!
Table-top signs
Flyers to distribute to voters
A banner to hang from their table
T-shirts for all their volunteers
Stickers to give out to people who registered
Because of some fundraising we've done at ILVOTE, we're able to offer these items to you at a steeply reduced cost. Scroll down to view the store or click here to order.
Of course there's no requirement to buy any of these items - from us or anywhere. But for those of you who want to make a splash with your voter registration, it's available!
Prices listed are our cost.
If you or your group can cover the full cost, great!
But if your budget is tight, let us know. We've done some fundraising to help out.
If you can make a donation to help other groups, please let us know!
