Public Policy
Partnering with California Secretary of State Debra Bowden
MyVote Democracy at Work Project
As the November 4 General Election is just around the corner, NAWBO-OC is invited to partner with California Secretary of State Debra Bowen in a bid to get employers to lead with her in improving voter registration and turnout.
While 58 percent of the state's registered voters took part in the February 5, 2008 Presidential Primary Election that represented only 40 percent of people who were eligible to vote. Since many Californians spend a significant amount of time at work, employers have a unique opportunity to help improve voter participation.
The MyVote Democracy At Work Project provides employers with simple tools they can use to spread the word about voting, including:
- Nonpartisan, voting-related messages employers can add to the company newsletter, to emails or to employee paycheck stubs and inserts.
- A "MyVote Election Information" website button employers can install on the company's internal or external website.
The website button links to the Secretary of State's voter education web page, where employees and customers can find out how to register to vote, vote by mail; be a poll worker on Election Day, get answers to frequently asked questions about voting, and much more. All this, plus the website button and instructions, is available at: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter_ed.htm.
For a sampler of simple nonpartisan messages about voting employers can tailor to suit their needs, or to discuss other ways to inspire your employees and customers to take part in elections, please contact Arlene Pinzler of the MyVote Democracy At Work Project, at Arlene.Pinzler@sos.ca.gov or call her at (213) 897-6225.
