Social work students can make a difference in voter turnout on campus, in their communities and at their field placement agencies!  Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Run voter registration and pledge to vote drives on your campus. Check out these tips for running a successful drive from the League of Women Voters.

• Connect with elected officials on social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay informed.
• Share candidate guides and/or host a candidate forum on your campus.
• Find and share information on your state's voting rules.

• Suggest ways your agency could support clients and communities to vote.
• Consider working at the polls on election day.
