Social media is a great tool for quickly sharing your message with a diverse audience across multiple platforms. With a well-crafted tweet or Facebook post, you can raise awareness about important issues and spotlight your get-out-the-vote efforts.
Exert 360 crafted a successful countdown to election 2018 social media campaign for the Durham, NC Links to encourage African Americans to get registered to vote, promote the importance of voting through images and short messaging, and remind them of election day.

THE BASICS
- Use the right hashtags. Include relevant hashtags like #OurVoiceOurVoteOurPower, #LetYourVoiceBeHeard, #GetOutToVote, #RockTheVote, #WhenWeAllVote, #MyVoteOurTime, #Election2018, and #MyVoteNC2018 in your social media posts for greater visibility. Research which election-related hashtags are popular in your area so that you can be a part of the existing conversation.
- Utilize photos. Tweets with photos perform five times better than those without, and good photos are priceless.
- Tag other organizers to extend reach. They can help publicize your work and share your content with a broader audience.
