Yes! We’re working to bring voter registration to every high school in America. Students and educators can come to our Run-A-Drive workshops. You can check out our programs and resources at thecivicscenter.org. This week is High School Voter Registration Week, with take-action Friday.
Re contacting Ohio schools...I have no contacts but have looked up high schools in the first five districts listed. I'm short on time this morning but will try to add the last five later. Here is a sample email plus email addresses for this principals. I've emailed the ones I've printed below--it takes minutes!
Dear Mr. Cates,
I’m a retired educator, and in my retirement I am volunteering as a voter registrar, and in particular trying to increase registration among previously underrepresented eligible voters, including youth voters.
Please see the article below and share with your students. Registration for the upcoming election is October 10. I will paste the nuts and bolt paragraph below.
With best regards,
Cathy Murphree
Those with a driver’s license or state ID can register online here. If you live in Ohio and don’t have a state ID, you can still register by printing out this form and mailing it in. Note that you’ll need an ID to vote, so check out this recent post from VoteRiders, and get your ID as well, today.
I don’t know Ohio. Here in Texas, parents of seniors and/or graduates often purchase yard signs indicating such. I am making a list of those as I walk/drive and plan to mail them an application before the March primary registration cut-off date in 2024. My numbers are small, but I hope individual outreach might pick up some registrations. I am encouraging friends in other neighborhoods to send me addresses.
We have a group that does high school registrations, but the numbers (at least when I have done it) are small. So..hoping to reach these kids in multiple ways.
I will post your letter on SM. Are you also planning to have registration drives at various Ohio high schools?
