Power Up the Polls: Tips on How to Ensure Bond Election Success
Early voting has begun! Therefore, it's crucial to rally support and maximize voter turnout. At WRA Architects, we’ve built a wealth of experience in helping school districts run successful bond campaigns. Here are five key strategies to consider for your bond election season.
1. Know Your Local Resources
Utilize your county’s website to stay informed about voting logistics. Key information like voter registration deadlines, early voting locations, and Election Day polling places can be found online. Be sure to know what identification or documents are required for voting, and review sample ballots to stay informed about the issues.
2. Use Social Media to Spread the Word
Posting reminders on social media is a powerful way to keep your community informed. Highlight early voting periods, polling locations, and important dates to ensure maximum awareness.
3. Word of Mouth is Key
Verbal reminders are incredibly effective, especially during early voting. Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to vote and provide them with helpful resources if needed. A simple conversation can go a long way.
4. Know Some Important Voter Demographics
Did you know that younger voters, particularly those under 29, have the lowest turnout in elections? Meanwhile, voters over 65 consistently show the highest engagement. Understanding these patterns can help tailor outreach efforts to encourage a broader range of participation.
5. Focus on Youth Engagement
Engage voting-age students with impactful and memorable campaigns, including distributing “Don’t Forget to Vote” signs and fliers. Creating a culture of voting early can help instill lifelong civic engagement.
We’re committed to supporting our districts throughout this bond season and ensuring your campaign’s success. Rally your community and make every vote count!
