Healthcare is the Next Frontier in Voter Access

VoTER

 

 

Founded in 2019, Vot-ER works in healthcare settings to advance voter registration and GOTV in three ways:

Site-Based Voter Registration: Vot-ER works with
over 300 hospitals providing posters, discharge
paperwork, and patient handouts.

 Digital Outreach: Vot-ER leverages hospitals and
community health centers as trusted messengers
about voting via SMS, telehealth, and hospital
webpages.

Healthy Democracy Kit: Healthcare providers wear
a “Ready to Vote?" lanyard and a voter registration
badgebacker (pictured) with a QR-code and SMS
shortcode that they can use to help patients
register to vote or request an absentee ballot.
