Just for Fun

Prepare for the Live/Recorded Program:

1) Talk up the event to students and teachers of 16-and 17-year-olds, as well as those who will be able to register to vote on November 5.  Don’t think of a class program; think of a school program!

2) Make sure students know:

                -This is happening. (Promo videos are available here: https://www.lwvmn.org/nvrd .)

                -That they will be able to pre-register LIVE on their phones*, tablets, laptops, or school computers, and we will walk them through the form and all the common questions/answers.

                -They will need, that day:

                                -Full name

                                -Address (including zip code, apartment number if they have one, etc.)

                                -Email address

                                -Minnesota ID Number (Driver’s license, learner’s permit, or state ID), last four digits of their Social Security number, or both.

That’s all they will need!  We will take care of the rest.

*If your school policy does not allow phones in class, it is a special activity with exceptional benefits, so please make an exception, AND TELL THEM WHY!
