Star of Kings Pub in London, United KingdomVoter Registration Brainstorm
NOTE: THIS IS COMBINED WITH THIS MONTH'S LONDON SPEAKEASY!
The voter registration team is holding a pre-summer brainstorming session about getting out UK-based voters on Wednesday May 23 from 6 to 8 pm. If you have ideas about how to reach and register more US citizens to vote from abroad, please email gotv@democratsabroad.org.uk. Please also indicate if you would like to be trained as a voter registration volunteer and what time of day/days of the week you are available for training. We hope to hold one more training session before the end of June.

February 14, 2018read moreSince the start of 2018, the DAUK voter registration team has been very busy, holding drives at Arcadia, University College London, SOAS University, Queen Mary University, Canary Wharf, Cadogan Hall, Fordham University Study Abroad, New York University Study Abroad, Foundation International Education, Richmond University, Facebook, women’s clubs, international schools and several DAUK events. We’ve also held three training sessions for new volunteers and supplemented our efforts with social media, an effective way to steer citizens to votefromabroad.org.
More drives are in the works, and we’re gearing up for even more in the fall, when all study abroad students will need absentee ballots for the general election on November 6. However, we need help finding new locations and getting access to some old ones, where our contacts have moved on (London School of Economics and Kings College, to name two). We also want to reach out to many more American alumni associations. If you can help, write gotv@democratsabroad.org.uk. Huge thanks goes to the entire DAUK Voter Registration Team!
