Thank you to those who participated in Vote Forward’s effort to increase voter turnout in Virginia this year. In total, nearly 16,000 dedicated volunteers wrote more than 1 million letters to voters in Virginia.
The first wave of letters mailed in September encouraged Virginians to request an absentee ballot. Then last weekend, another wave of letters were sent to remind voters to cast their ballot.
A few years ago, a volunteer get-out-the-vote effort of this magnitude in a year without a national election would have been hard to imagine. Now, there are enough volunteers who care deeply about our democracy to make it a reality.
Your efforts will help ensure that Virginians make their voices heard in this high-stakes election. Vote Forward will also use what they learned from this double-letter experiment to optimize their programming and campaigns in 2022 and beyond.
If you’re looking for more ways to help in the days leading up to the Virginia elections on November 2, here are two suggestions:
