While you’re at the LWV website, you should check out some of their other resources, including how to hold a registration event at a high school (what a great idea!?!).
The Voter Registration Project is dedicated to registering voters from under-represented communities. Visit the link to join their group, to check the laws in your state, to register to vote, or to donate.
Project vote also has a great link with state laws regarding voter registration requirements; they also provide advice to organizations wanting to engage in non-partisan voter registration drives.
Vote Riders provides training clinics to partner organizations to help them with registration and voter ID requirements. They also provide detailed voter ID information here, as well as information regarding last dates to register voters for various elections being held this year.
