FOR FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS
Midterms Matter to your friends & Family
This November, Georgia decides on the governor, a U.S. Senate seat, and every statewide office. The people in your life are more likely to vote when someone they trust reminds them. Grab the free toolkit and you'll have simple, nonpartisan things to share, so your friends and family get registered and ready in time.
Your Trust Is the Key
Political organizers spend millions trying to reach people, and you can do it with a single text. Research consistently shows that people are more likely to act on voting information when it comes from someone they already know. That’s not a small thing. It’s the most effective form of outreach there is, and you already have it.
A Text Goes Further Than an Ad
One message to the people in your life beats any algorithm trying to reach them.
You Already Have the Trust
You don’t need a platform or a following. You just need people who trust you.
It Takes a Minute
Everything is written and ready. Copy, paste, and send to the people who matter to you.
Mark the Dates That Matter
November 3 feels far off, but the most important step happens well before Election Day. If you or someone you know isn’t registered by October 5, they can’t vote, no matter what. Now is the time to make sure everyone is set.
The voter registration deadline for the November general election. Moved, changed your name, or not sure you’re registered? Check now at the My Voter Page.
Georgia’s in-person early voting runs for nearly three weeks, including at least one Saturday. Beat the Election Day lines by voting early.
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. As long as you’re in line by 7 p.m., you can vote. Know your polling place before you go.
Bottom line: the deadlines sneak up faster than you think. Share the dates with the people in your life now, starting with the October 5 registration cutoff, so no one gets caught off guard.
Start With the People You Already Talk To
There’s no script to follow and no minimum number of people to reach. Most people start with one message to one person and go from there. A few easy ways to begin:
- A quick text to a friend or family member with the key dates
- A post in your group chat or family thread
- A reminder shared on your own social media
- A heads-up to a neighbor or coworker who might have missed it
- A note to anyone you know who’s voting for the first time
You know your people best. Share it however feels natural.
Everything Is Ready to Share
The Georgia Matters toolkit gives you what you need to spread the word without writing a thing from scratch.
- Ready-to-send text messages and captions you can copy and paste
