TAKE THE PLEDGE

The 2020 presidential election saw the highest voter turnout in the last 50 years.

Your efforts made a difference. But our work isn’t done.

Presidential elections draw more voters than mid-term and local elections. And these other local, state and national elections play an important – and ongoing – role in allowing citizens to choose how they wish to be governed.
Voting is a fundamental right that ensures that democracy is more than just a buzzword. Employers need to ensure that employees have the time to exercise their voting rights.

As CEOs and business leaders, if you take the non-partisan pledge with A Day for Democracy then together we can help our democracy remain vibrant.

Whether you’ve already taken the pledge or are doing so for the first time, your support is needed!

Fill out the form, take the pledge, and help your employees chart our country’s future!

Support your employees

To support your employees in the voting process, we teamed up with TurboVote, a leading online service that aims to help individuals vote in every election – local, state and national.

To learn more, contact TurboVote and reference the A Day for Democracy campaign.

TurboVote offers

During the signup process, TurboVote guides the user through registering to vote via their state’s online voter registration portal, where available, or via the paper-based National Voter Registration Form (NVRF).

Via TurboVote’s notifications, TurboVote guides users through the vote-by-mail process, including how to request a vote-by-mail (or absentee) ballot in states where a request is required.

Democracy Works keeps track of elections around the country at the federal, state, and local levels. Users can choose to receive reminders by email, text, or both, with all of the logistical information needed to successfully cast a ballot. TurboVote also sends notifications when election information changes. For example, messages to alert voters to COVID-related changes.

Help desk: Users can reply to any text or email from TurboVote to get in touch with its help desk, staffed by voting experts, who can answer their questions in English or Spanish.
