#OYUvotes: Voter Registration Videos
Thank you for taking a moment to inspire your family, friends, and neighbors to register to vote.
Why does registering matter? This year, in addition to the presidential election, states, cities, counties and towns have elections in November. The presidential primaries in the spring and summer are also important times to get involved, no matter what party you support or which issues matter most to you.
The purpose of the #OYUvotes campaign is to uplift the voices of Opportunity Youth about the importance of voting and encourage all our members to register themselves and their peers to vote.
How Can I Get Involved?
Simple! Below are a action steps you can take to help us create a buzz!!!
1. Make a 30-second NONPARTISAN* video about why voting matters and why you vote. Share it via your social media networks using the hash tags #OYUvotes #whyIvote….. check out some samples in our YouTube playlist above.
2. Be sure you have registered to vote and urge your friends and peers to register, through the OYU website page (bit.ly/OYUvote). Take a selfie or picture of people registering and share it to create buzz, using the hashtag #OYUvotes!
