These three VOTE411 videos promote the voter guide or "find your ballot" feature on VOTE411.org. Leagues and the public can use these videos to pressure candidates to fill out their VOTE411 voter guides or simply to inform voters of the voter guide feature on VOTE411.
Check out our VOTE411 page, Help Get Candidates to Answer our Questions!
You can share these videos on your social media (suggested share one video per post) to help pressure candidates to fill out your voter guides. Here are some sample posts to accompany each video you share. When asking candidates to fill out our voter guides or thanking them for doing so, it is acceptable within our nonpartisan policy to tag the candidates' Twitter/Instagram handles or Facebook pages. In fact, we encourage it! Check out our letter to the editor template.
