DEMOCRACY ACADEMY
How You, the Local Citizen, Can Make Your Government Work Better!
Our democracy begins at the local level, but many eligible voters are not making their voices heard. Voters Not Politicians Education Fund is introducing Democracy Academy, our first community workshop to address the important concern of low voter turnout in local elections. We will focus exclusively on municipal level local elections, which include
councils/commissions, millages, and school boards. County, state, and federal elections will not be covered in this module.
In this interactive session you will learn:
– [ ] How our current system encourages low turnout
– [ ] The short- and long-term consequences of low voter participation
– [ ] Established voter engagement techniques to create positive change
– [ ] How to help others make elections a priority to make local government work better

After participating in this workshop, you will be able to:
* Demystify the root causes of low participation in local elections
* Understand why low voter turnout can lead to undemocratic practices
* Develop skills and strategies on how to increase voter participation in upcoming local elections in your community
