1 Lesson / 70 Minutes / FREE
Voter turnout is typically lower in local elections than in national or statewide races. City and other regional elections give your nonprofit an unparalleled opportunity to boost turnout, simply by encouraging your clients and community to vote. Because local elections are intimate affairs, your organization can also build rapport with local candidates and elected officials who make many decisions that directly affect your organization and community.
