Nonprofits play a vital role in strengthening our communities and our democracy. Every day, we
help people access resources, overcome challenges, and build a better future, connecting with folks
where they live, learn, work, and seek support. Helping people participate in democracy is a natural
extension of that work.
That is why Common Good Vermont has created this Voter Engagement Guide.
Created in partnership with Nonprofit Vote and the National Council of Nonprofits, this guide is designed to equip nonprofits of all kinds and sizes with the information they need to engage voters effectively, legally, and confidently. Inside, you will find Vermont specific voting information, guidance to remain nonpartisan and compliant, step by step processes for voter engagement activities, and ideas and tips to tailor approaches to your audience.
We hope this toolkit helps you find meaningful ways to engage voters and strengthen civic participation across our state.
