Community Action 205: Help an Eligible Voter Find Official Resources
The Idea: Help an eligible voter locate reliable information about registration, voting options, accessibility, language assistance, or ballot procedures.
Why It Matters: Some voters may face barriers involving technology, disability, language, transportation, unfamiliar procedures, or recently changed circumstances.
Try It Today: Show the person how to reach the official state or county elections website or help them find the appropriate elections-office telephone number.
Make It Work for You: Let the voter make their own decisions and enter private information themselves whenever possible. Do not request unnecessary personal details, complete or sign forms without authorization, look at a marked ballot, recommend candidates while presenting yourself as a neutral helper, or provide legal advice beyond your qualifications. Election rules and eligibility requirements vary, so refer complicated questions to authorized election officials.
Take It Further: Help locate approved language assistance, accessible voting services, official transportation information, or a nonpartisan voter-support program.
