Grassroots Resources
The Government Affairs Department focuses its Grassroots Program on educating, registering, and mobilizing members via four communication channels: worksite action, door knocking, phone banking, and local union publications. Together, we can inspire members to stand up for issues affecting working families, communicate with elected officials, and vote for labor champions.
What you should know:
- The IBEW Constitution, Article XVI §3 states that every local union shall have a registrar, and Article XVII §1(e) sets forth the registrar’s duties. However, a local union is not limited to just one registrar; depending on the size or structure of the local, it may be more effective to have multiple registrars.
- Registrars are responsible for informing and communicating with members about the importance of political action. The IBEW is committed to providing the resources to help registrars carry out their roles. The registrar center is secured and available only to registrars, district and state political coordinators, and administrators.
2024 Voter Registration Project (NEW!)
The 2024 Voter Registration Project will be completed using an electronic approach this year. District/state coordinators will email the following materials to each local union business manager in their state/district:
- Voter Registration Project Instructions Flier
- LU Sample Letter Template
- LU Sample Email Template
- Excel spreadsheet of all unregistered voters from their local union (varies by local union)
- Voter Registration Forms – Hyperlinks Per State (Sorted Alphabetically)
Local union business managers should follow the instructions on the voter registration project instructions flier to complete this project by email or U.S. mail.
