A Campaign to Coordinate Voter Education
Campaign Activities around the 2011 Egyptian
Parliamentary Elections
What is our voter education campaign
A effort to communicate to citizens - especially new and
traditionally disenfranchised citizen about the rights and
responsibilities about voting.
In order to do that organizer need to understand the rules and
laws that govern the upcoming elections - and the basic
process that any individual will have to go through to cast a
ballot.
The message should be motivational and inspirational not
technical.
Connecting the voter to the change and impact of voting is
also critical.
