Help increase voter turnout in rural areas

Increasing Voter Turnout in Rural Areas: Democratic Party of Georgia's Regional Trainings

Every vote in this state matters - particularly in statewide races. The Democratic Party of Georgia (DPG) is spearheading an effort to turnout rural voters in the May 22 primary, and to build long-term capacity in other areas of the state with untapped potential for turnout.

DPG will be hosting trainings in select counties. The purpose is to assist local volunteers and leaders to begin building outreach and turnout infrastructure. Training will cover vote by mail, phone banking, how to utilize the Secretary of State's My Voter Page, hustle, and building out "rides to the polls" programs. The following are upcoming:
