NVEW Overview Partner Toolkit

Research shows personal recommendations from trusted community members are 5x more effective at motivating voter participation than traditional political advertising. People don’t just need voting information—they need it from sources they already trust.

Who are trusted messengers? They’re not celebrities or politicians. They’re the people already woven into daily community life: coaches, small business owners, faith leaders, librarians, student leaders, neighborhood mentors, and local digital creators. Their influence comes from relationships, not titles.

What’s included in the guide:

• Key questions to identify the right messengers for your community
• Vetting criteria to ensure nonpartisan, pro-democracy alignment
• Template emails and conversation starters for different types of community leaders
• Concrete partnership ideas, from simple social media shares to co-hosted events
• Customizable materials including posters, one-pagers, and digital graphics

Instead of cold outreach during election season, you’re empowering those voices that people already trust to weave nonpartisan civic engagement into conversations that are naturally happening. This approach is especially effective for reaching community members who don’t typically engage with traditional voter outreach.

You’re not just expanding your reach—you’re changing how voter education happens in your community, making it feel authentic and sustainable rather than transactional.

Hosting a trivia night is a great way to strengthen partnerships in your local community and engage voters in fun ways. Use our guidance to quickly organize a successful trivia night during NVEW.

Who said voter education can’t be fun? One of the best ways to celebrate NVEW is by hosting large nonpartisan celebrations in your community. We’ve seen partners host concerts, potlucks, parties, and more to increase turnout and then provide voter education services to help.

Tip! Partner with organizations that you may not traditionally work with to help increase awareness and turnout. For example, we’ve seen great examples of community groups working with their local college campuses to increase the number of people that attend events.

One of the most popular ideas we’ve seen from partners is to host some type of event or lecture that helps with voter education. These events will typically bring in some type of guest speaker or panel to discuss a number of different and applicable topics, including:

• How to spot and fight misinformation online
• Updating voters on new voting laws that passed in the state
• Discussing the history of voter suppression and voter access efforts in the country or state
• Discussing local issues that are most relevant to your community 
• How non-citizens can remain civically engaged even if ineligible to vote
• Partnering with your local election official to bring in voting machines so voters already know what to expect during early voting/Election Day

These guest speakers can be civic/community leaders, scholars, elected officials, election officials, and more! As always, remember to make it fun and provide food to help increase attendance.

Tip! No matter what you discuss, make sure to think about how you can make this fun and interactive. For example, one college campus partner hosted their version of MTV’s VMA’s with the Voting Music Awards. At this event, they taught students about Ranked Choice Voting and used that system to vote for their favorite musical artists.

An easier way to help voters learn about what’s on their ballot is to host a watch party for an already planned and televised/streamed debate. Hosting a fun watch party means you don’t have to worry about coordinating candidate schedules or creating new candidate guides that are nonpartisan and 501(c)(3) compliant. A way to make your debate watch party more engaging and fun is to provide food, games, prizes, and even a raffle!

This is definitely one of the most time-consuming events to set up but the payoff here is huge! By creating your own nonpartisan voter guides or hosting your own candidate forum, you can help inform voters in a way that is unique to their concerns and interests.

Additionally, by being able to meet or see candidates running for office in your community, it reinforces that voters’ voices matter and are important to them. If you choose to host these types of events or create these resources, you need to be very careful about remaining nonpartisan and 501(c)(3) compliant, but it’s definitely doable!

We’ve also seen partners host issue forums to discuss some of the ballot measures they will be voting on this year and how they can affect their community. This can be easier to set up from a nonpartisan/501(c)(3) lens.

Invite your community to a fun event where they work together to reach out to potential voters through phone calls and text messages. You can either provide a call/text list yourself or ask voters to text/call their friends/family themselves. You can provide nonpartisan scripts to make it easy and food to make it fun!

A tried and true strategy – tabling never gets old and is always effective when done right! For NVEW, we’ve seen partners set up tables in high-traffic areas to help voters with their mail in ballots, learn more about what they’ll be voting on, and more.

One partner set up a table every day but covered different portions of the voter education process each day. This way, voters will know to visit the table every day but will get different information every time they visit.

Tip! To incentivize repeat traffic, you can offer some type of prizes or freebies for people that visit your table every day of the week or enter them into a raffle to win more. Remember you need to offer this to everyone, not just voters.

Use NVEW as an opportunity to record community members talking about the voting process or the issues they care about themselves. You can set up areas to take pictures or record video throughout your community and use this footage throughout NVEW to support your digital efforts. You can also use this footage later on to support your ideas for Vote Early Day or beyond.

Voter education is an essential component of the voter journey, filling the gap between registration and casting a ballot that counts. It also helps voters – especially newly eligible voters – navigate the voting process with confidence.

NVEW provides leaders of any community and context with the framework to help give their networks the nonpartisan information they need to cast their ballot with confidence. Since 2020, thousands of diverse partners around the country have participated in NVEW, collectively reaching millions of voters around the country.

Voting is more than just knowing the rules. It’s about understanding why it matters and making sure everyone has a fair chance to take part. With new laws, changing processes, and a lot of confusion, clear and honest nonpartisan information helps everyone cut through the noise and show up with confidence.

• Voting shapes your everyday life.
  Voting isn’t just about politics – it’s about your school, your job, your healthcare, and your community. The people elected and the policies passed directly impact things like rent prices, public transportation, and even internet access. When more people vote, decisions reflect more voices, making life better for everyone.
  
• Hearing from people you trust matters.
  Most people don’t decide to vote because of ads or headlines – they do it because a friend, family member, or someone they respect encourages them. Your voice can be the reason someone shows up to vote.
  
• Getting from ‘registered’ to ‘voted’.
  Signing up is step one, but it doesn’t stop there. Knowing when, where, and how to vote makes all the difference. Whether it’s making a plan, learning about what’s on the ballot, or finding a ride to the polls, small steps help make sure your vote actually counts.
  
• Cutting through the noise.
  There’s a lot of confusing (and sometimes wrong) info about voting out there. We make it simple: what you need to know, when you need to know it, with no political spin.
  
• Knowing the rules before you vote.
  Every state has different rules for things like voter ID, early voting, and mail-in ballots, and they can change. Checking ahead of time means no surprises when you finally vote.
  
• Local elections matter more than you think.
  Presidential elections get all the attention, but your mayor, city council, and school board make decisions that impact your daily life. These races are often decided by just a handful of votes. Yours could be the one that makes the difference.
  
• You don’t have to know everything to vote.
  A lot of people feel like they don’t know enough to vote, but no one is expected to have all the answers. That’s why there are sample ballots, voter guides, and resources to help you make choices that feel right for you.
  
• Voting is how we make things happen.
  The more people who vote, the more our communities are heard. When voting becomes a habit, it helps make sure our leaders listen to all of us, not just a select few.
  
• Civic engagement is more than just voting.
  You can make an impact all year long by helping others register, showing up at local meetings, or advocating for causes you care about. Democracy doesn’t just happen around elections, it’s an everyday thing.
  
• Turning knowledge into action.
  Knowing your voting rights and what’s on the ballot is important, but the real power comes from using that knowledge. Whether it’s helping a friend get registered, sharing a reminder about voting deadlines, or showing up at the polls, every action makes a difference.

Conveying the importance of local and state elections – and their connection to your community’s daily lives – is crucial given the unjustifiably low profile of non-federal elections compared to federal elections. This section will provide guidance on how to make the stakes of this year’s elections feel immediate and real. Adapt the guidance and sample messaging to your own community’s context as part of your messaging to encourage voter participation and awareness for 2025 elections.

Use Messaging That…

• Grounds your messages in voters’ everyday experiences.  Local elections impact your community in very visible ways. From public transportation to housing availability to trash pickup time and frequency, the decisions of local elected officials touch voters’ lives almost constantly – whether they realize it or not. Keep this front and center in your messaging.
  
• Connect your messages with hot-button issues, even if they’re seen as national issues. Many issues with national profiles, such as immigration and LGBTQIA+ rights, can impact your community in vastly different ways based on how your local government acts on federal or state-level decisions. Make sure potential voters know that what they see in their news feeds can be impacted dramatically by who occupies local offices in their community.
  
• Uses examples and statistics that are directly relevant to your community.  The nationalization of news coverage and consumption has made it harder for voters to see and understand how certain issues are impacting where they live compared to other places. Help them learn by using clear examples and statistics that bring the local issue into focus. Topics like crime rates, school performance, or public transportation usage are especially relevant and useful here. Most jurisdictions have a page dedicated to local crime statistics. Here is the District of Columbia’s crime information page.
  
• Emphasizes the agency and impact of voting in local elections. Local elections are often decided by just a few votes, amplifying the value of an individual ballot and giving outsized importance to local turnout and organizing efforts. For many, upcoming local elections are also the first opportunity to make a material impact on issues that have seen drastic change since the beginning of 2025. In simpler terms, local voters have real power – if they show up.
  
• Frames voting as normal and a way to fit in with their community. Research shows that social pressure is an effective motivator for voter turnout. To build and sustain strong relationships in a community, try messaging that applies social pressure in a positive way, by depicting voting as something normal that one’s friends and neighbors care about and are already planning to do.
  

• Don’t shame or guilt-trip for not voting. Successful organizing at the local level depends on building positive relationships with other members of your community. While research shows that negative pressure can be effective in turning out voters in the short term, we recommend avoiding negative emotions and casting doubt on voters’ values to make your point, as it risks alienating your target audience over time.
  
• Don’t frame education as a prerequisite for voting. We don’t want anyone to feel that they (or others) have to be intensively educated in order to vote. Comprehensive programming can inadvertently imply that a lot of knowledge across many areas is required to vote. Voters may already have to register to vote and/or request a vote-by-mail ballot before they can vote. We don’t want to suggest that they also have to attend a weeklong course as part of the process.
  
• Don’t minimize the real barriers to voting that people face. We can share positive solutions while still acknowledging that the system can make it difficult for people to participate, regardless of our advice or their intentions.
  
• Don’t invalidate protesting or other forms of civic engagement. Protesting is a valid and effective form of civic engagement. Voting is a foundational tool in the toolbox, but we can focus on voting while lifting up other forms of civic engagement rather than discrediting them.
  
• Don’t make the myths louder than the facts. If you want to “myth bust,” control the narrative and don’t position the myths up front; people will anchor to that falsehood if it’s the first thing they see. Similarly, stay away from messaging that reinforces false narratives, like “Young people don’t vote.” Make sure the main point of your message is what you want people to internalize, rather than what you want them to move away from.
  
• Don’t center elections instead of people’s lived experiences. Most people – especially those who need to be convinced or more informed in order to vote – aren’t innately passionate about politics and don’t have an intricate knowledge of how different issues are impacted by elected officials at different levels of government. Approaching them about issues that aren’t directly relevant to their lives and interests, using vague language about elections writ large, or assuming a level of knowledge that they may not have, risks alienating people who don’t live and breathe electoral politics. Don’t try to convince them to care about local elections; convince them that local elections are about the things they already care about.
  
• Don’t use partisan messaging.
  Nonpartisanship is a core principle of National Voter Education Week. It’s also an effective strategy to stand out from other news and content sources that bombard voters with partisan or one-sided messaging. Keeping the focus on voters’ ability to decide the candidate or ballot option that’s right for them builds trust that you’re not approaching them with a transactional agenda. For guidance on how to craft pro-voting messaging without engaging in partisanship, check out the SLSV Coalition’s Nonpartisan Messaging Guide. 

• Be Nonpartisan (i.e. no promoting one political party or candidate)
• Be Non-transactional (i.e. no pressuring or forcing anyone to register)
• Be an Active Participant (i.e. take part in NVEW programming)
• Keep Us Posted (i.e. use the hashtags & submit your events)
• Champion participation by everyone, regardless of background, identity, or political persuasion. That means celebrating the diversity of the electorate and supporting outreach that strives to include all eligible voters.

It’s a space where creativity, trends, and authentic voices thrive, making it an ideal platform for reaching and engaging new and young voters. By creating content on TikTok and Instagram Reels, you have the opportunity to connect with a diverse and engaged community, helping to make voter education more accessible and exciting.

Whether you’re new to TikTok or a seasoned creator, this guide will help you craft compelling content that educates, inspires, and mobilizes voters during National Voter Education Week.

Content Ideas for TikTok:

• Share Why Voting Matters: Use our pre-written script to speak directly to your TikTok audience about the importance of voting:
  • English: “Voting is so much more than just casting a ballot—it’s about making sure our voices are heard on the issues that affect our lives. For me, [share a personal reason, like ‘voting is how I stand up for the environment and push for policies that will protect our planet’]. But I know that navigating the voting process can be a little overwhelming, especially when there’s so much at stake. That’s why I’m all in for National Voter Education Week. I’m using this week to get all my voting questions answered and to make sure I’m completely prepared for Election Day. You can do the same! Head over to NationalVoterEducationWeek.org/vote to get all your questions answered and make a plan to vote. Let’s make sure we’re ready to show up and make a difference!“
    
  • Spanish: “Votar es mucho más que simplemente emitir un voto: se trata de asegurarnos de que nuestras voces sean escuchadas sobre los temas que afectan nuestras vidas. Para mí, [comparta una razón personal, como ‘votar es la forma en que defiendo el medio ambiente y para políticas que protejan nuestro planeta’]. Pero sé que navegar el proceso de votación puede ser un poco abrumador, especialmente cuando hay tanto en juego. Por eso apoyo la Semana Nacional de Educación Electoral. Esta semana es para obtener respuestas a todas mis preguntas sobre la votación y asegurarme de que estoy completamente preparado para el día de las elecciones. ¡Usted puede hacer lo mismo! Visite NationalVoterEducationWeek.org para obtener respuestas a todas sus preguntas y hacer un plan para votar. ¡Estamos listos para hacernos escuchar y hacer la diferencia!”
• This or That” Challenge: Use the “This or That” format to showcase why voting matters to you versus not voting. For example, “This: Voting to protect our planet. That: Ignoring our environmental impact.” Share personal stories or reasons behind your commitment to voting.
  
• Day in My Life Use the “Day in My Life” format to document each step of the voting process over multiple days, such as registering to vote, researching candidates, or making a voting plan.
  • Consider using the “Day in the Life” format to show how someone navigates different voting barriers and solutions. Document a day focused on overcoming common voting barriers, such as finding early voting locations, accessing voter assistance, or dealing with issues like transportation. Highlight resources and support available, and include helpful tips for viewers.
• Learning Curve: Share a video where you admit to not knowing everything about voting, and then embark on a journey to learn and share the answers. Film yourself asking questions, researching answers, and then explaining what you’ve learned. Use a relatable and humorous tone to make it clear that it’s okay to learn as you go. Invite viewers to share their own questions and discoveries.
• Challenge Videos: Create a challenge encouraging viewers to take specific voting actions, like registering, making a voting plan, or reminding friends to vote. Film a step-by-step guide on making a voting plan, then challenge viewers to create their own plans and tag friends to participate.
