Prepare Yourself to Vote &
to Get Out the Vote (GOTV)
Set your intention
Get inspired by NCJW’s Judaism and Voting Resource as you plan your GOTV work.
Keep it non-partisan
Review what you can and cannot do to GOTV as a 501(c)(3) organization.
Check your registration
Use NCJW’s portal to check your voter registration or register to vote. You can also bring voter registration forms to all Section events and activities (check your state laws to ensure compliance).
Learn the landscape
Educate yourself on both the laws protecting the right to vote and barriers to the ballot box, including accessibility challenges.
Get your voter ID ready
NCJW & VoteRiders partnered on a one-pager with information about Voter IDs.
Consider voting early
Share information with your local section, network, and community about how to vote early, absentee, or by mail in your state
Equip Your Community to Vote & Resources to GOTV
Make a Plan to Vote
Help people in your local section and/or network to make a plan to vote.
Collaborate in your community
Identify and partner with new or existing GOTV efforts in your community. Consider working with local chapters of the League of Women Voters, Common Cause, NAACP, or local houses of worship.
Share your passion for voting
NCJW is partnering with Vote Forward to connect our advocates with potential voters across the country.
Educate your community on the issues
Organize a candidate forum and/or develop and disseminate a candidate questionnaire.
Partner with National Voter Registration Day
National Voter Registration Day, a nonpartisan civic holiday celebrating our democracy, is on September 17, 2024. Plan a voter registration drive or volunteer at one to celebrate.
Take action to strengthen and expand the right to vote
Tell Congress to pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore and strengthen our freedom to vote by ensuring any changes to voting rules that could discriminate against voters based on race or background are federally reviewed in order to better protect the right to vote.
Phonebank to GOTV
Recruit, organize, and train volunteers — or be a volunteer — to phonebank to GOTV.
Volunteer at the Polls
Recruit and connect volunteers — or join a volunteer network — for Election Day activities, such as poll monitoring.
Get Ready for Election Day
on November 5, 2024
See something, say something
If you observe issues or have questions at the polls, contact a nonpartisan voter protection hotline.
Go vote!
Wear your “I Voted” sticker with pride.
