National Voter Registration Day is a time to empower communities and ensure that every voice is heard. With their trusted roles and community presence, providers, enrollment assisters, community health workers, and other health professionals are uniquely positioned to support voter registration efforts. This webinar will explore how the health sector can integrate nonpartisan voter registration support into their services, outreach and advocacy. On September 17th CCF was joined by speakers from Vot-ER, Kentucky, and Tennessee who will share their experiences and provide practical guidance and resources on how health professionals can collaborate to promote civic engagement.
