What does it take to
Run a Drive?

Five easy steps to running a voter registration drive in your high school.

1. Get Smart

Attend a virtual, one hour, Run-a-Drive Workshop. Learn how to form your team and start planning. It’s free!


2. Get Help

A high school building with a notepad sheet superimposed on it that reads, "Dear Mr. Smith, would you be the faculty advisor for our voter registration drive?"

Ask an educator or administrator to be a faculty advisor for your drive.  We provide them with a detailed planning guide so they can work with you and your school’s administration on logistics.

3. Get Swag

4. Plan and Run your Event
