Who we are: GOTV with "Voter Information" added Co-chairs:
Heidi Burch (Canada Vice Chair) Michelle Taube (Denmark Chair) Our mission statement: "The Voter Information-Get Out the Vote (VI-GOTV) Committee will reach out to members of Democrats Abroad, other Democratic overseas voters and to all Americans living abroad to foster their right to vote and to urge them to vote for Democrats."

Where we are now: Committee plan and election year calendar created and added to the wiki First global mailing has been sent reminding members that they still have to register/request ballots even if they voted in the GPP Taking over voter information tasks from the 2014 GOTV committee Acting as liaison to FVAP and state elections officials Michigan's voter lookup tool is now accessible from outside of the U.S. California has contacted us for information about how GPP affects state primary voters

What we're planning: So far... Voting FAQ on the DA website
Periodic s to update voters re: deadlines and key races (timing coordinated with country committees) Training and support to CCs (if needed) about voter information and member outreach Documents to help country committees plan voter registration and phonebanking events Outreach to other expat organizations to facilitate registration and voting by US citizens living abroad who are not members of DA In conjunction with Key Races Team, coordination with state parties and specific campaigns to provide opportunities for candidates to reach overseas voters

In summary: We're here to help if you need us.
Send difficult voter questions to us at: Find a collection of documents about voter registration (VR) and phonebanking events on our wiki page But, we also realize that many of you have experience already and we're not here to bug you. Feel free to send us your ideas, though, so everyone can benefit...

What we need from you: from each country committee: volunteers!
