Congratulations!

               Here are a few tips to help you register eligible voters
Use your community network to register voters:
 Family/Friends
 Faith-based organizations
 Community centers/Civic clubs/Schools/Libraries
 Apartment complexes
 Adult senior living facilities

Volunteer with an existing organization:
 League of Women Voters – lwv@lwvhouston.org
 Mi Familia Vota – angelicar@mifamiliavota.org
 Baker Ripley – volunteer@bakerripley.org
 National Organization for Women – houstonareanow@gmail.com
 NALEO Education Fund – ebille@naleo.org
 Move Texas- info@movetexas.org

How to Plan a Voter Registration Drive:
Before: Plan Ahead
 Confirm your venue, date and timeframe with the business management
 Pick up your applications (available in different languages) from either of the two Office of the Elections
   Administrator locations based on the projected attendance
 If there are multiple VDVRs participating, nominate who will be in charge of turning in the applications
 Bring your Harris County Certificate of Appointment, clipboard and pens (blue/black ink) to the event
 Prepare a folder for completed applications to keep it secured

During Voter Drive:
 Find out if the applicant is a Harris County resident to determine which application is needed
 Ask if the applicant is at least 17 years and 10 months of age
 Go through each application to ensure it is legible and all the required information is completed
 Collect all completed VDVR “long form” applications and organize them based on individual VDVR
   numbers
 Be safe and aware of your surroundings at all times

After: Drop Off and Receipts
 Go through all materials and make sure no forms/applications were left behind at the event
 Return completed forms at either for the 10 Office of the Election Administrator locations within 5
    calendar days unless it is the last day to register to vote for the next upcoming election
 The designated VDVR should collect all the receipts and distribute them to each VDVR that participated
    at the event
