Note: We will not hold you to this date, we'd just like to get a sense of when would make sense for you!

Is there a teacher or other staff member who you think would be willing to support you in this initiative? They might be someone who would let you speak to their class or advocate for you to do a drive! If you have someone in mind already, please share their name, email, and role below. We will not contact this individual.

All students will receive a box filled with physical voter registration forms, QR codes, clipboards, stickers, and other materials to support your drive.

Are there any major considerations about your school that we should be thinking about ahead of your drive? This could be that your administration has allowed similar drives before, that they’re especially strict about students congregating in the hallways, or something else entirely.

Have any questions? Need any extra resources/support/materials/accommodations?
