Each and every election, at least one hundred million Americans don't vote.  With the help of the tools on this site, you have a golden opportunity to help bring more voters to the polls.

This voter education campaign has two goals: To encourage your employees to register to vote, and encourage them-- and your customers-- to vote on Election Day. With a few clicks on this web site you will have access to following information:

• charts showing registration requirements and deadlines for every state, including absentee ballot information and primary election dates; and
• suggestions for publicizing your voter education program and for customizing your effort to meet your company’s particular budget and needs; and
• the 'dos and don’ts' of election law.

By visiting the website you have made the first essential step in preparing your voter education campaign.  Now, you have to make the next step – ensure that your employees are taking part in the democratic process and making certain that the voice of American manufacturers is being represented in our nation’s legislature. After all, the decisions of our lawmakers affect the quality of life of our companies, our employees and, most importantly, our families.

Participation in this voter registration campaign need not be expensive or time-consuming. You’ll find that just a little effort can lead to overwhelming participation. Your involvement can be as simple as displaying one of our  Get Out the Vote posters, or it can be as elaborate as setting up your own on-site voter registration drive. You decide.

We urge you to encourage your employees to exercise their right to vote. Help them see that, contrary to popular belief the voting process is not complicated or inconvenient. Help your employees realize that the right to vote is an opportunity not to be taken for granted.  Lead your employees, suppliers and customers to the voting booths on Election Day.
