Promote Voter Registration This Month!
The Kentucky Baptist Convention's Committee on Public Affairs is encouraging churches to promote voter registration this month ahead of the fall's election. Holding a non-partisan voter registration drive is easy and churches are allowed by Internal Revenue Service rules to hold such drives as long as no political party is endorsed or promoted. To have a voter registration drive, churches simply need to:
- Download a voter registration form and duplicate copies. The voter registration form, a sample form and more ideas about hosting a voter registration drive can be found at www.votekentucky.us.
- Encourage people in the church who are eligible but who have not registered to fill out a form. Individuals must be 18 years old or older on or before election day and be a U.S. citizen.
- Turn the forms into your county clerk before Oct. 4. (Doing this by the end of September will be even better!)
