Voter Registration

TRADITIONAL

No Traditions Left...

TRADITIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION

Maybe a Solution...

Touchless Voter Registration

MAKE YOUR VOTE BLUE HERE NOW

Touchless Voter Registration

QR codes resolve two issues with traditional VR:

• Voter does NOT have to put SSN on a

piece of paper and give it to a stranger.

• Done quickly on the spot, no need for

voter follow-up if they take the form home.

Touchless Voter Registration

Voter Support will begin testing this concept starting this month, at outdoor venues such as plazas and farmers market wait lines. If you are interested to help, please contact votersupport@arlingtondemocrats.org
