Many people aren’t sure how to get involved in politics, who represents them, or how to contact their Representatives.
Below is some basic information to help out those who are new to getting involved in the political realm as well as links to sites that will make it easier on your part!
How to Register to Vote – CLICK HERE
There are many people today who aren’t registered to vote, but thankfully the US Election Assistance Commission has made it easy as ever!
Remember, registering for a party is important as well! Even more important than the General Election is the Primary, as that determines where the party is going to stand on the issues!
Find your Elected Officials – CLICK HERE and CLICK HERE
One of the best sites to get current information is 270 To Win, which gives you both your Federal and Local Representatives, links to their websites, possibly their email contact, and when their next election will take place!
Another is Common Cause, which gives you even more Representatives in Local Government!
Where do Candidates Stand on the Issues? – CLICK HERE
Many people aren’t sure where their politicians truly stand on the issues, so OnTheIssues does the research for you and compiles quotes and legislation for you to get a good idea about a candidate!
How to Contact your Representatives – CLICK HERE
Most people don’t know how to contact their Representatives with suggestions or where they stand on an issue. The best method is to call rather than email and phone numbers are typically found on their websites!
If you would rather email, fax, or send a letter, one of the best resources around is Resistbot, which allows you to send a message electronically that will go all of your Federal Representatives!
Attend Local Political Events – CLICK HERE
Most of the time, you can find the information on what political events are taking place in your town by looking on your towns website or your Representatives sites.
If you need to find your local towns site, USA Gov has you covered!
Learn Specific Aspects about the Government – CLICK HERE
USA Gov again has a great resource for looking into both historical information as well as basic information about the United States.

There are many ways to volunteer in your community, including many outside of the political realm! Check out VolunteerMatch to see what ways you can try and improve your community!
