LABEL
IT IS NOW TIME TO -
MAKE FUNS TO
GET OUT THE VOTE
It's time for you to make plans
to get as many people as possi
ble to the polls November 7.
Here are some ideas:
1. An Election Day transporta
tion service is important. Make
sure you have enough cars avail
able to take people to and from
the polls. It‘s a good idea to
have cars ready in each precinct.
Many men have to take their
ears to work; so their wives may
not have any way to get to tha
polls during the day.
t. A baby-sitting service is
helpfsl too. It can be run along
with the transportation service.
Many mothers will be glad to
serve as sitters while other moth
ers in the neighborhood vote. t
Or yon can ns a onion hall or
neighborhood recreation center
for baby-sitting on Election Day.
A ear can pish op mother and
the kids, drop the children off
st the baby sitters’ and the* take
mother to tbs pools.
S. In many states the law
makes employers give workers
time off to vote. Check with year
comity clerk for^ the details of
the law in your state.
If your state law allows timS
off to vote, make sore workers
know about it. Mention it at
union meetings. Post the infor
mation on bulletin beards. Put
notices ia your local labor paper,
4. Accord high numbers of sot
polls fa states whore there are
hot battles. That mesne there
may be big jams at voting plaeos
just before dosing time. Too
many people postpone voting on
til after tapper.
So streoa the need for voting
early. Organize “before-break
j fast” er “on-the-way-to-work”
• otiag parties. • -t-r*]**’
f. Distribute sample ballets. Be*
•ore all trade unionists know the
1 nafties of labor-endorsod candi
dates. It's a good idea to print
the names of candidates you’re
backing in red-aad-white on the
sample ballots.
U voting machinea are used in
your city, explain is your local
paper* *nd at union mooting*
how they operate. Thia also can
bo done on the sample ballots.
6. Bo certain everyone know*
what times the polls open and
close. Also make sure all voter*
know where, their polling places
are. Often they change from
election to election.. _-—
You can print maps showing
the areas covered by the pro*
cincts. Or you can simply list
the precincts and polling places.
Another thing you can do is set
up a voters' information service
at your local union headquarters.
7. Remember, it's everyone's
duty to vote. People who don't
vote have no one but themselves
to blame if the government isn’t
run the way they think it should
be.
Newspaper .ads and radio an
nouncements urging people to
vote are effective. So are post
ers, notice en bulletin boards
and announcements at union
meetings. s
Candidates who will work for
the people—not for special inter
ests—will win if as many people
as possible go to the polls.
