VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVES

 
 

High School Voter Registration Drives

Kids Voting Ohio supports high school voter registration drives around the state as part of our mission to ensure Ohio’s eligible youth voters are ready to cast their ballot.

KVO is partnering with the Ohio Association of Student Leaders to work directly with civic minded students. KVO offers tips to organize voter registration drives that are simple and efficient. KVO provides the instructions and printed material students need to register and be prepared to vote in their first election.

Voter Registration Drives are available beginning in March through the end of the school year. To host a voter registration drive, simply fill out the form below. A voter education curriculum template is available at the bottom of this page.
