Post Election Resources
How might we prepare to support campus stakeholders in processing and responding to a tumultuous post-election season? This is the question that over one hundred stakeholders, including Ask Every Student campuses, in the student voting space came together to ideate solutions around. These resources include a Post-Election Campus Resource and Response Guide that directly synthesizes the ideas from these stakeholders, shareable graphics and webpage, and a recording of the Post-Election Resource Webinar.
Post Election Campus Resource and Response Guide
On October 8, over 100 stakeholders in the student voting space came together to ideate around the question “How might we prepare to support campus stakeholders in processing and responding to a tumultuous post-election season?” This document is a synthesis of their ideas for how best to address that challenge. We’ve provided helpful resources that can support you and your community in enacting these ideas.
We’ve posted this again in the document, but the Civic Alliance Post Election Day and Election Day Guide is an exceptional resource for creating messaging before, during and after election day. While this is a resource specifically crafted for the business community, the messages outlined in their Guide transcend sectors.
This is a live document and will be updated with more resources over time.
You can also view the Post Election Resources Webinar that expands on this guide and select resources through the recording and link-filled agenda.
