Vote Postcard 2024
You Can Help Get Out the Vote From Home...
the Postcard Project!
 
Not all of us have the time or ability to participate in out-of-home voting activities. But you can still make an important contribution by joining our Postcard Project. This simple but effective campaign’s purpose is to inform voters to skip the lines by voting early and returning their ballots to a polling place, drop box location or by mail. 
 
 We need volunteers to place address labels and stamps on postcards and put them in the mail. You will be supplied with a packet of 100 postcards, pre-printed labels and stamps. Please sign up through the Get Involved tab and click on Volunteer (see the article below for more details). Thank you!
