Vot-ER Toolkit
Help get nurses, students, and patients ready to vote.
Voting strengthens democracy and enhances health by giving people a role in the policy processes that affect all social determinants of health. However, approximately 33% of nurses and their patients are not registered to vote. NAHN is partnering with Vot-ER to provide resources that will assist nurses, nursing students, and patients to participate in civic engagement and have their voices heard through voting.
What’s Vot-ER?
- Vot-ER is a nonpartisan, health professional-driven organization working to integrate civic engagement into healthcare.
- They have partnered with over 500 hospitals, clinics, and other organizations to help over 47,000 Americans register to vote.
What’s a Vot-ER Badge?
- An easy tool where patients can access a nonpartisan, self-service voter registration platform via a QR Code.
- Vot-ER badges are free for all healthcare workers and can clip onto an existing ID.
- An easy way to impact your patient’s health beyond the medical care they received.
