2006 is an Election Year: Be Ready to Help America Vote
With elections at the state and federal level this year, nonprofits have many opportunities to support the democratic process by helping America vote. NPAction.org is pleased to launch Nonprofits Can Help America Vote, a special section of resources dedicated to guiding and increasing nonprofit organizations' activities around elections. Learn about how nonprofits can engage voters in registration and education activities; help implement the Help America Vote Act's (HAVA) guarantees of fair elections and voting rights; and continue issue advocacy during an election year. Information about online resources for polling places, candidate information, and election administration agencies is also available. Check back often as we will update the latest election news and showcase organizations acting as good nonprofit citizens.
