Mobilize the Youth Vote and Other Election Resources

Just a quick note to point you all to a few new resources. First, The Young Voter PAC and Future Majority just released a workbook on best practices for mobilizing young voters:

Mobilize the Youth Vote - pdf

In it, you will find information on progressive youth organizations, definitions and best practices for running traditional and non-traditional field campaigns, sample budgets, strategies, and organizational plans, data on young voters and more.

This is a work in progress, and we will be adding to it substantially after the election. If you have questions that are not answered in this guide, or suggestions on further material we should include, please contact us.

Further, I wanted to point out the new and growing collection of election-related resources that now occupy the top slot in this blogs's sidebar. These will be listed on this site until November 5th. Here you can find voter registration deadlines, instructions on absentee voting for each state, help for overseas and military voters, a primer on student voting rights produced by the Brennen Center, and more. I hope to add more information soon about election protection, and if you have suggestions on good resources I should be linking to please contact me about that as well.
