You Can Vote offers many free, user-friendly, and nonpartisan resources on voter education, including:

  • An interactive, nonpartisan voter guide that allows you to check your voter registration status, find out who is on your ballot, learn about candidates’ backgrounds and positions on a variety of issues, and prepare your own sample ballot.
  • Free handouts in English and Spanish with basics about the election, voting rights, and voter education information. Two of our favorites are Who’s on the Ballot?, which provides helpful explanations of 20 elected offices that you are likely to see on your ballot this year, and What’s on the Ballot?, which highlights the elected officials who are responsible for eight major policy issues that are important to the work of many nonprofits.
  • Communications toolkits to help your nonprofits share clear and accurate information about the 2024 election with your staff, volunteers, and the people you serve. You need to sign up to access these toolkits, but it’s worth the two minutes to get ready-made emails and social media posts, along with notes on what days to share which messages.
  • Free voting educators for nonprofits’ virtual or in-person events. Note that your organization will need to request a voting educator at least two weeks in advance.
