Vote Early Day is excited to offer three exciting and impactful ways corporate partners can empower their employees to share their voices this fall. With a critical election just months away, these plans provide tangible ways for employers and employees to uplift the voters who need this information most.
Background:
Vote Early Day is a national day of action and celebration for our democracy. Thousands of businesses, nonprofits, election administrators, campus groups, and creatives unite each year to build activations that provide Americans with the tools and knowledge to overcome Election Day hurdles by voting early.
When we vote early, voters ensure last-minute problems, long lines at the polls, confusing election laws, or voter disinformation cannot prevent us from casting our ballots. Together, we can ensure every American’s voice is heard!
Created in 2020, Vote Early Day has engaged nearly 5,000 national and local partners, including MTV, Snapchat, Uber, PayPal, REI, United Way, The League of Women Voters, BET, and more. Through this diverse collaboration of partners, our message breaks through the political noise by meeting voters where they are.
This year, Vote Early Day is celebrated on Tuesday, October 29, one week ahead of the most consequential election of our lifetime. This year’s celebration will be critical as partners help Americans share their voices on who will be elected president, who will represent us in Congress and Governors’ mansions, and vital ballot measures nationwide.
Offerings:
Lunch and Learn

Each employee will leave with the following:
- Detailed information on where they can vote early in their community (including options to vote early in person, vote by mail, or use a local dropbox)

Text Outreach Campaign
Texting provides a tangible opportunity for employees to connect directly with voters. It is a simple task that requires very little training. In a few short minutes, each employee can contact thousands of voters to let them know about their opportunities to vote early leading up to or on Vote Early Day.
Employees will get access to an online texting platform where they will simply need to click a button to send out a pre-written text message. With a few quick clicks of the mouse, hundreds of voters will get information on how they can vote early. The team at Vote Early Day HQ will manage all follow-up questions and comments, so your team won’t have to be election experts.
It’s a simple, straightforward program that drives traffic to the Vote Early Day website’s trusted election resources.
