WELCOMEGreetings:
For decades, the NAACP has used its mighty voice and its strength in numbers to force change. Change in our schools. Change in our police departments. Change at our state capitols and in Congress. This year, the first presidential election in 50 years without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act, we will need to draw on the strength of our numbers again.
In the wake of the Shelby v. Holder Supreme Court decision, more than 30 states, many with the worst legacies of racial hate and oppression, have adopted laws that create ID requirements and new obstacles to registering and casting a vote on Election Day. Through massive and deliberate overhauls of election codes, many states have scaled back early voting, easy registration and other voting programs proven to increase turnout.
Just as poll taxes and literacy tests were once used to turn away black voters, the latest election laws have been twisted to make it more difficult for people of color, senior citizens, and the young to exercise their right to vote. But we at the NAACP have seen this before, and we know that only our actions can make our voices heard in the most fundamental way there is – through the ballot.
There is too much at stake for us to remain silent or stay home in this election year. The next appointee to the Supreme Court is at stake. The environmental health of communities of color across the country is at stake. The restoration of the Voting Rights Act is at stake. The civil rights legacy of both our forebears and young activists is at stake. The NAACP and its members are the best equipped to confront this crisis head on in this crucial election year. To achieve the results we want and need for our communities to thrive and grow, the volunteers of our 2,200 branches and conferences must become a community united – multiracial, multigenerational and singularly focused on getting out the vote on November 8.
This summer, we need you to join our partnership of community-based organizations in a coordinated campaign to register more than 300,000 voters and bring them to the polls by leveraging today’s technology including social media and the VAN system, and using the strategies and tactics we’ve learned and perfected over the years, including phone banking, door-to-door canvassing and working with communities and churches. If we act, we can ensure our numbers and presence are not ignored.
Our voices and votes are among the most powerful tools we have to defeat bigotry and injustice. We must turn up the volume of our voices to turn out the votes this November. Stand your ground, claim our future, and ensure that our votes count.
Kind regards,
Cornell William Brooks President and CEO NAACP

Our vision is to ensure a society in which all individuals have equal rights without discrimination based on race.
MISSION STATEMENT
5 | F i g h t i n g f o r D e m o c r a c y | O U R V O T E S M A T T E R
There are two main components of this 2016 voter registration campaign; first, to recruit
volunteers and secondly, to register voters.
Moreover, Get Out The Vote (GOTV) is an additional component outside actually
registering voters, and we’ll focus on that specific activity later this fall and most likely, right
after our 2016 Convention in Ohio.
The NAACP’s Civic Engagement goal for the 2016 election cycle is to register 300,000 voters,
and then mobilize them to vote on November 8, 2016.
An efficient way to accomplish this is by focusing on 17 states which we’ve targeted, because
they’ve had a 55% turnout in the 2012 general election and have over 100,000 African
Americans registered to vote. Specifically, we will micro target those marginal turnout AA
precincts with a goal of increasing their turnout by 20 percent.
These states are: AL, CT, FL, GA, IN, LA, MI, MO, MS, NC, OH, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WI.

OBJECTIVES F i g h t i n g f o r D e m o c r a c y | O U R V O T E S M A T T E R | 6
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTThe Census shows that the Black vote has steadily been increasing in each presidential election since 2000,
and the last two presidential elections demonstrate the maturity and potency of the Black vote.
For example, “the 2008 presidential election saw younger blacks voting in greater proportions than whites
for the first time, and the turnout of black women was at a higher rate than any other racial, ethnic and
gender group.”
Moreover, “In 2012, Blacks voted at a higher rate (66.2 percent) than non-Hispanic Whites
(62.2 percent) for the first time since the Census Bureau started publishing voting rates by population in
1996.
In fact, 2012 was the first time Black voter turnout outperformed white participation in an election and
“young Black women voted at a higher rate than any gender, racial or ethnic subset of voters between the
age of 18 and 29.”
• TheNAACPRegion3statesofOhio,Indiana,Illinois,WisconsinandMichiganhadhigherBlack
voter turnout than White.
• Region5statesofMississippi,Alabama,Georgia,Florida,NorthCarolina,
South Carolina also had a higher Black voter turnout than White.
• Additionally,Region7hasthestateofVirginiaandithadahigherBlackvoterturnoutthanWhite.
Those states represent 11 of our 17 Targeted States for 2016 Civic Engagement!
Furthermore, 34 states have enacted voter identification laws and 11 of them are in the South, meaning
that every state in the southern region of this country has enacted laws providing further restrictions to the
right to vote. This is especially important to Regions 4 and 5.
States also are instituting policies and practices that are designed to critically stymie youth voter
participation.

MESSAGE
The NAACP’s 2016 Civic Engagement Plan’s theme, Fighting for Democracy, is the overarching
message that we will convey to voters in the targeted states that indeed, “Our Votes Matter!”
2015-2016 DIGITAL MEDIA PLAN
This year’s campaign will implement strategic communication techniques that will include an
updated website, hot button issues, social media, as well as celebrity and entertainment sources
to maximize attention on the importance of this year’s presidential and federal elections. For
example:

FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY 2016
The Fighting for Democracy 2016 campaign will work towards increasing the low voter turnout
of African Americans in the upcoming federal and presidential election.
Although, in the last two presidential elections, African-American turnout steadily increased.
In fact, in 2012 it surpassed that of whites mostly in the Midwest region: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
WisconsinandMichiganincludingtheSouthernU.S.regionalstatesofMississippi,Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
STRATEGY9 | F i g h t i n g f o r D e m o c r a c y | O U R V O T E S M A T T E R
TARGETED STATES
On the TARGETING page, you’ll find a list of 17 states which have had a 55% turnout in previous
elections and a minimum of 100,000 registered African Americans. To be efficient, we will focus
our activities and resources on the targets.
STRATEGIC PARTNERS
Our goal is to register 300,000 voters, and we welcome our companion progressive leaders,
organizations, clergy, labor unions, social, civic and other organizations to this effort.
TARGETINGThe NAACP’s Civic Engagement goal for the 2016 election cycle is to register 300,000 voters and
mobilize them to vote on November 8, 2016.
An efficient way to accomplish this is by focusing on 17 of the 38 state area conferences within
the NAACP network as targeted states. These states had a 55% turnout in the 2012 general
election and have over 100,000 African Americans registered to vote. Each of these targeted states
will be required to provide a plan identifying the micro-targets within their respective states.

VOTER REGISTRATIONExpanding the political and civic representation of African Americans in society has been
a longstanding priority for the NAACP and most all progressive organizations, and as such,
this work heightens during election time. In 2016 the NAACP developed the “Our Votes
Matter” slogan to put the politicians on notice while increasing participation amongst
African American.
These efforts should also lay the foundation to make inroads toward promoting long-term
voting and civic participation. Now, we are ready to launch our civic engagement campaign.
Fighting for Democracy 2016
The Fighting for Democracy 2016 campaign will work towards increasing the low voter
turnout of African Americans in the upcoming presidential election. Although, in the last
two presidential elections, African-American turnout steadily increased. In fact, in 2012 it
surpassed that of whites mostly in the Midwest region: Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin

This VR campaign will also include faith-based institutions, youth and colleges, community
agencies and social action networks to assist in the outreach for moving the VR campaign
into the communities.
Traditional Voter Registration Campaigns From 1909-2010 the NAACP utilized grassroots voter registration efforts as the base method
of voter registration. In 2010 the NAACP continued these voter registration campaigns
adding a “pledge card” component to this time tested method.
Technology Driven Voter Registration Campaigns From 2000-2008 the NAACP utilized ‘field’ efforts as the primary method of voter
registration programs.
In 2010 the NAACP placed greater emphasis on use of multi-media and marketing of voter
registration campaigns through use of new technologies and best practices in automated
registration techniques.
Now, in 2016, we will utilize the State voter registration online applications which can be
found at www.naacp.org/civicengagement.
Additionally, we will continue using technology tools like the SmartVAN, training webinars,
text messaging, etc., and the tried and true grassroots techniques to register and educate
voters in preparation for the 2016 general election. We’ve also dusted off the NAACP VAN
Guide to help with the technology.

“HOW TO” Canvass Tip Sheet
1. Safety First
Always canvass in teams. Never go inside anyone’s house and be careful of dogs! If you
have to enter a fenced in area to reach the door, shake the fence first and see if any dogs are
waiting for you.
2. Dress Appropriately
Check the weather before you leave. Dress appropriately & wear comfortable shoes! Look
presentable but casual. Wear NAACP hat, t-shirt, jacket, etc. Bring snacks, fruit and water.
3. Know Your Message
Speak briefly and listen attentively. Do as many role plays as possible beforehand. Have
your rap/script memorized so you don’t have to read from the sheet and can engage the
voter in a conversation.
4. It’s Not Only What You Say
90% of communication is non-verbal. Be pleasant and friendly when a person answers the
door and look them in the eyes. Take a step back from the door after you knock to allow
them to open the door and talk. Try to hand them any voter registration literature you may
have if they don’t open the door at first.
5. Say ‘I don’t know”
Never guess the NAACP’s position on anything! If you can’t answer a question, write it
down, get their contact info, and then follow up with them later when you return to the
office.
3 3 | F i g h t i n g f o r D e m o c r a c y | O U R V O T E S M A T T E R
6. Never Debate
Avoid getting into an argument with a person in front of their own home. Even if you can
win the argument, you’ll likely lose them. Spend most of your time listening, then pivot
back to your mission. Spend the most time with people who are open to your registering to
vote instead of just wanting to talk.
7. Let Them Know You Were There
If the person isn’t home, write a short note on your literature saying, “Sorry I missed you.”
Leave literature somewhere noticeable (think eye level). NEVER leave literature in their
mailbox (this is ILLEGAL).
8. Know Your Environment
Look for clues about them from their home (bumper stickers, kid’s toys, type of car, etc).
Find a way to relate to them! Show respect by using the sidewalk and not cutting through
yards.
9. Move Quickly
Try to knock on at least 12 doors per hour with 5 contacts per hour. Avoid talking to a
single person for longer than 5 minutes.
10. Take Good Notes
The information you collect through canvassing is pure gold to the NAACP’s voter
registration campaign. Write down anything you think will be helpful (be sure to write
legibly so others are able to read and enter the data). After you finish for the day, check in
with your supervisor about entering the data into the VAN.

“HOW TO” Canvass Math Tip SheetDoor-to-Door Canvassing
The following math formulas are canvassing averages, and the numbers are merely an example.
If this NAACP voter registration drive were to begin on May 15, 2016, and end October 1, 2016,
you would have 20 weeks to conduct your program.
Voter Registration
• Site Based Voter Registration —average 7 voter registrations per hour (on average but
based on site)
• Door-to-door Registration — average 12 doors per hour; 5 contacts per hour (varies
based on neighborhoods)
Assume that you are asked to knock on 3600 households of unregistered voters (and not every
house in the city will be knocked). To knock this number of houses in 10 days you will need
12 volunteers per day for 10 days, each person working a 2-hour shift. You will make approxi-
mately 1200 contacts.
• Startwith3600households.Tocalculatehowmanyhoursitwilltake:
3600 HH ÷ 15 doors knocked per hour = 240 hours
• Tocalculatenumberofvolunteersyouneedtodeterminehowlongashiftwillbe:
240 hours ÷ 2 hour shifts = 120 shifts (or volunteers)
120 shifts (volunteers) ÷ 10 days = 12 shifts (volunteers) per day
• Tocalculatethenumberofcontacts:
240 hours x 5 contacts per hour = 1200 contacts

“HOW TO” Make Calls Tip Sheet10 Super Volunteer Phone banking Tips
1. Smile
They can tell on the other end of the line. Keep a mirror handy to check that you’re smiling while you talk.
2. Connect
Find ways to relate to the person you are calling. Say your name and that you’re calling for the NAACP. Be
casual and relaxed.
3. “Ear Glue”
The more calls you can make per hour, the better it is for the voter registration campaign. Keep the phone
glued to your ear between calls. You’ll save time and momentum. Try to make at least 30 calls and 10
contacts per hour.
4. Confidence
Don’t sound like you’re asking them a question… unless you are. (This often happens without your even
realizing it!) Be assertive and declarative.
5. Stand
Standing while you call keeps your energy and enthusiasm high. If possible, move around while calling using
an earpiece to keep your blood flowing.
6. Be Prepared
Usewhateverdataisprovidedaboutthepersontoyouradvantage.Demographicinformationwillbeuseful
as you move along in this process. Are they male or female? Young or old, African American or not?

7. Ask questions
Never dominate the conversation. Asking open-ended questions is a great way to get them engaged in a
dialogue with you. Move quickly to asking about voter registration.
8. Pay attention when you talk
Along with asking your VR questions, you should be listening to their answers. This is especially important
for entering data into their file for later activities.
9. Take clean notes
Every call is helpful to the NAACP no matter what the results. Recording results from every call is critical. Be
sure to clearly mark down the result of every call, so that it can be easily and quickly read and entered into the
voter file, if not directly via the Virtual Phone Bank system.
10. Forget Your Last Call
Don’t worry if someone hangs up or yells at you. Brush it off and quickly move onto the next call. Dwelling on
negative experiences will make you less friendly to other voters.

Budgeting Volunteers for Phone Bank Voter Registration Activity
Sample Voter Registration Task: Identify 5,000 prospects of unregistered people.
To budget the number of volunteers needed and the amount of time it will take to make the calls if the voter
registration effort has 10 phones for the project, you will need to perform the following calculations:
The phones will operate three hours a night (6-9pm) and will average 22 attempted contacts per hour, making
66 calls per night.
22 attempted contacts per hour x 3 hours per night = 66 calls per night
Ten phones will be calling per night, meaning the phone bank will make 660 calls per night.
66 contacts per phone per night x 10 phones = 660 contacts per night by volunteer phone bank callers
To reach and identify 5,000 unregistered people, you will need to place approximately 10,000 calls. A total of
10,000 calls will take 15.1 nights of phoning at 660 calls per night.
It will take 151 phone shifts of three hours each, over a period of 15 days, to complete the calls.
15.1 nights x 10 phones = 151 phone shifts
Therefore, you or the NAACP unit volunteer coordinator will need to recruit 151 volunteers to fill the 151
phone shifts, or ten volunteers per night for about 15 nights.

SAMPLE VOTER REGISTRATION CANVASS SCRIPT1. Identify Yourself “Hi _____________________, my name is _________________ and I’m a volunteer with the NAACP and today we’re registering people to vote!” (SMILE at THEM).
2. Talk about the Issue “We noticed on our list that you’re not registered to vote, and we feel it’s more important than ever to elect someone sensitive to the needs in our community”. “Don’t You Agree?”
3. Ask the Question “Great, let’s get you registered right now, so you’ll be ready to vote later this year in November! Is your last name spelled correctly? (Show them their name on the list) Complete the registration form and ask if anyone else in the house needs to register?”
4. Close “I’m turning these forms into the NAACP office today, and they will take them to the government office building for filing.” “Is there a particular issue you’re concerned about or any other question you’d like to ask?”
Ok, well thank you for becoming a registered voter, here’s some literature and enjoy the rest of your day.
