NO DON'T LET GO

Submitted by ub on

Curated voting resources organized by category to motivate voters and help them actually get to the polls good material for whatever community piece you're building.

General voter motivation & GOTV hubs

  • Vote.org – registration check, mail ballot requests, polling place lookup, election reminders; used by 40M+ people. More than 40 million users across the nation through direct resources and thousands of partnerships across the country - from schools and libraries to arena tours and Fortune 100 brands. Vote.org
  • Vote411.org (League of Women Voters) one-stop nonpartisan info: registration, early voting, polling locator, candidate guides.
  • Rock the Vote – dedicated to building the political power of young people, with registration and election info tools. Rock the Vote
  • Vote Smart – unbiased candidate/officeholder records, good for the "know who you're voting for" motivation angle.
  • Ballot Ready – personalized ballot preview so people see exactly what's on it before Election Day.

Latino/Spanish-language outreach (given your Univision background, this set might resonate most)

  • NALEO Educational Fund / "Ve y Vota" – bilingual hotline 1-888-839-8682 (1-888-VE-Y-VOTA) for registration help and rights violations, plus a Spanish-language VOTE411 partnership. Hotline staffed 8am–8pm ET, offering reliable, non-partisan information on both elections and naturalization. NaleoNaleo
  • Their research is good messaging fodder too: a plurality of Latino voters say they vote to support family, friends, and community rather than a specific candidate or party. That's a strong emotional hook for community-facing content. Naleo

Voter protection (know-your-rights angle, good for "don't let anyone discourage you" messaging)

  • National Election Protection Hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) for anyone turned away or challenged at the polls. Human Rights Campaign
  • HRC's 2026 midterm hub has useful reminders: a provisional ballot works just like a regular ballot but may need additional processes to verify the voter's information. Human Rights Campaign

State/local toolkits

  • Many Secretaries of State now publish ready-made GOTV kits Minnesota's is a good model: a comprehensive toolkit with ready-made email, newsletter, and social media messaging, including key dates, graphics, and videos, available in Hmong, Somali, and Spanish. Worth checking if your target state(s) have something similar. Minnesota Secretary of State

Why this matters, if you want a stat for the piece
Nearly 36% of eligible Americans didn't vote in 2024, with millions more at risk of being left out in 2026. That gap is the whole reason these orgs exist. Vote.org

I kept all of this strictly nonpartisan — none of it pushes a candidate or party, just access and turnout. Want me to draft an actual short motivational post or flyer copy using these, in your voice, for the food-affordability/community group you're building?
