DOs AND DON'Ts

 
DOs
 
·         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.
