Part II: Voter Registration
Sample Scripts
Hi there! How are you doing today? My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am volunteering with the League of Women Voters. We are here to help people get registered to vote and to talk to you about the issues you care about. Are you currently registered to vote?
If yes:
That’s great! Have you moved or changed your name since the last time you voted?
If they haven’t moved or changed names:
[Use this opportunity to start a conversation] That’s great! What’s the issue you care about most? [Remember: Our goal is to engage and listen, not persuade them to support a particular candidate or policy platform.]
If they have moved or changed names:
Okay, then make sure to update your voter registration. It only takes a minute. Do you have a smartphone or tablet? We also have a form you can fill out or a tablet to use.
If they have use a phone or tablet:
Great, just type in mnvotes.org on your phone and fill out the voter registration form.
If they do not have their own phone or tablet and you are comfortable sharing your phone/tablet/computer:
OK, you can update your registration at mnvotes.org. You can use my phone/tablet/computer to fill out the form and submit all of the information.
NOTE: As the volunteer, you cannot fill out any portion of the form or hit the submit button for the participant.
