Did you know that only 18 percent of registered voters in Georgia participated in the May primary? And just around 10 percent voted in the July primary runoff? With more than 2 million members in Georgia, credit unions can and do make a significant difference in the elections by the simple act of encouraging their staff, board and members to vote. It couldn’t be easier to do, and credit unions in this state have a resource to do so without taking a political side or stance through utilizing ElectionWatch.
This online tool offers information on the key election dates, how to register, where to vote, how to change a polling location, and various information on how to get more information on the races and candidates for state and federal elections – and takes the fear out of being engaged. Add ElectionWatch to your website and/or online employee portal. If you’re dying for more, there’s additional resources on the site ranging from social media content to newsletters and on-hold messages.
This site was designed to take the politics out of encouraging members to vote – take advantage of it today for the November general elections!
