How to Help Your Clients Make Sure Their Vote Counts


Listen Later

We're less than 30 days out from the 2024 elections. And I don't have to tell you there's a lot at stake up and down the ballot. From the presidential race to congressional and Senate races, to state legislatures. And on down to city council, county board, mayoral and school board races. All of them matter. And all of them have the potential to have a big impact on the wellbeing of our clients and their families. 

And as you're no doubt very aware, the polling is really tight in many of these races. And that just reinforces how very powerful a single vote can be. Hopefully most of your clients are already registered to vote, perhaps with your help. Registration deadlines have passed in a number of states, but there may still be time to register where you live. So definitely double-check your deadlines and do everything you can to get your clients registered before the deadline. 

But now it's time to focus on helping your clients make a plan to vote, so that they can be assured of their vote counting. And that's what we're zeroing in on in this week's episode.


In this episode, we share:

  • The three key ingredients to a successful plan to vote
  • The most helpful and effective questions to ask your client about their plan to vote
  • Six essential pieces of information your clients need to make sure their vote counts
  • How to address voter suppression efforts aimed at your clients 
  • How to help clients who want to vote on election day instead of voting early
  • A one-stop, easy-to-use resource to help your clients become well-informed voters
