Tip

Our goal is to create a robust

and

and 'live' place for data and resources for all levels of GOTV support.  Novice or Expert, we want to provide you with the information and tools that you need and trust to get the hard work in the field done. 

We don't want you googling or spending time on details - we want you talking to our members and prospective members - and getting out the vote! 

We encourage you to review the information we have provided and check back as we add more space, documents and functionality to this 'one stop' GOTV shop!

Feedback is always appreciated and encouraged.

Special Outreach:

We are building subcommittees on outreach specific to women's issues, minorities, LGBT, and other interest groups to increase voter registration and support.  Look for opportunities to join other DA Members in this outreach.

Also needed in August will be CC's willing to take on Countries without an organized DA Chapter, or those who need help in terms of phonebanking and reaching out to members. 

Please keep these opportunities in mind as you build your list of volunteers for GOTV - people are motivated for many reasons and we want everyone encouraged to participate during the long year ahead!

 

GOTV Voter Action Plan:

Our Global GOTV calendar until election day - a resource for your activities and planning as well.  Also note feedback request deadlines - we will need your input!

FVAP Voter Assistance Guide and Documents:

The reference bible for all of the in-state nuances.  Not always updated in the printed version (look for updates in the state section or on the fvap.gov website) but a strong starting point for questions on a state level.  Secretary of State offices are the general point of contact for UOCAVA voters who have specific questions about voter registration laws and voting implications.  Remember that there is no impact on a voter for participating in a federal election (Senator, Representative, Vice President, President) - but State elections (like Governor) do have residency and tax implications for voters in some states.
