My Voice. My Choice. My Vote!
With the 2008 election year in full swing, the SBACC is
joining chambers of commerce and employers statewide in
partnering with California Secretary of State Debra
Bowen in the MyVote Democracy At Work Project. Our
mission: to provide all Californians with the tools they
need to participate in the electoral process, starting
with the June 3 Statewide Primary Election.
In the last statewide election, a little over nine
million of the 22 million people who were eligible to
vote actually cast a ballot. Many people spend a
significant amount of time at work, which gives
employers a unique opportunity to communicate with their
employees in nonpartisan ways about how to register to
vote and participate in elections.
START HERE:
Here are some simple ways businesses can be civically
engaged and partner with the Secretary of State’s office
in nonpartisan voter education:
