organization

Here’s a handy list of the most basic tools you should have at your disposal if you’re going to try and build an organization at the precinct level that can truly have an impact on the things you care about.

A list of all registered voters in the precinct. 

It’s hard to identify and organize if you don’t know who the registered voters are, (or aren’t).  You can get this from your local election (or voter registration) board.

Blank voter registration forms. 

For all those new people you’re going to register.  Because if people aren’t registered, they can’t vote…and don’t count.

A map of the precinct. 

Having a map makes it easier to get an idea of who is where and how to get to them.  You should be able to get this from your local planning commission or voter registration office, (or they will know where).  Try to get one with street lines and names overlaid on it.
