Community Action 204: Share Verified Election Information
The Idea: Share accurate, current, nonpartisan information about registration, voting methods, election dates, ballot-return procedures, or official election services.
Why It Matters: Incorrect election information can confuse voters, discourage participation, or cause someone to miss an important deadline.
Try It Today: Share a direct link from an official state or local elections office rather than rewriting the instructions from memory.
Make It Work for You: Verify the jurisdiction, election date, publication date, registration rules, voting locations, identification requirements, accessibility services, language assistance, and ballot-return instructions. Clearly distinguish official information from opinions, endorsements, campaign messages, and predictions. Do not alter official graphics, circulate unverified claims, pressure anyone to reveal how they voted, or collect ballots unless specifically authorized by applicable law.
Take It Further: Correct inaccurate information politely, provide the official source, and encourage voters with individual questions to contact their elections office directly.
Community Connection: Election integrity, informed voters, trustworthy communication, and civic participation
