WORKER/VOTER VOLUNTEER DO’s AND DON’Ts
DO’s
· Be positive.
· Smile.
· Answer questions.
· Be persistent. Respond to a “no” with “it’s only 3 lines on a form” or “it only takes a minute.”
· Write legibly. Fill out the form for people completely, including phone number.
· Have applicant sign and date the form.
· Collect all completed forms at the worksite.
· Thank the registrant!
DON’Ts
· Never ask “Are you Registered?” People will inevitably say “yes” because it is embarrassing to say “no” or they don’t want to take the time.
· Never antagonize. Learn to tell when “no” really means “no.”
· Don’t hand completed forms to election board. Give them all to the Worker/Voter Coordinator from your local.
· Don’t forget to have them sign and date the form.
