Strategic Voter Engagement
• Not linear (more time does not always equal more results)
• Bottlenecks and empowering staff to pursue strategies to institutionalize voter engagement are key

Bottlenecks
• A bottleneck is a process like class registration or freshman orientation that a large number of students must go through every year.
• Strategic voter engagement efforts focus on integrating voter engagement into bottleneck processes as the default for each student.

Bottleneck Planning: Fall 2013
• Identify your top three target bottleneck processes
• Characteristics to consider:– How many students go through this
process?– Does it happen in time for voting
deadlines?– Operational challenges?– Bureaucratic challenges?

Bottleneck Planning: Spring 2014
• Planning for your bottleneck–Which stakeholders do you need to
engage?–When do they need to be engaged?– Put a meeting on the calendar for the
relevant staff members at the end of the semester• Set expectation of voter engagement being
a default experience next fall• What materials and support do staff need?• Set check in dates to make sure they stay on
track

TurboVote Technology
• TurboVote builds technology that makes it easier for institutions to institutionalize voter engagement
• When they use TurboVote, colleges just need to share a single link with students and get them to complete a 90 second online process.– Then, the system automatically follows up with
each student to provide him or her with all the information and materials needed to vote in all elections from local to presidential.
