The League is well known for supporting voters by helping them register to vote, and we continue to do that work, but we often find that people are already registered. This can be attributed to the good policy Maine has passed to make it easier for people to vote: we now have online voter registration, folks can register automatically with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, student and tribal IDs are accepted for voter registration, and Maine continues to register new voters at the polls on election day.
While some folks, especially new citizens and young people, can still use our help, most eligible Mainers are registered to vote. But being a registered voter doesn't mean that people actually cast their ballot! There's still a need for us to encourage people to become active voters. Drawing on a combination of research and our own experiences connecting with voters, we'll walk you through the effective practices to encourage active participation in our elections. You'll leave the workshop with a personalized plan for how you'll make the most of every minute you have talking to people about voting.
