-- Angela Y. Davis
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!
What is GOTV?
GOTV stands for "Get Out the Vote" or "Getting Out the Vote", which describes efforts aimed at increasing the voter turnout in elections. In countries that do not have or enforce compulsory voting, voter turnout can be low, sometimes even below a third of the eligible voter pool.
VOTING & YOU
There are plenty of ways you can get involved. You can register to vote if you haven’t already. You can educate yourself on voting laws, schedules, what you're voting on and who you’re voting for. And as mentioned, you can bring someone with you to the polls when you vote.
Where to start:
The Oklahoma State Election Board website serves as a hub and portal. You can visit: https://oklahoma.gov/elections.html.
How to register to vote:
On the Oklahoma State Election Board website, you’ll see a Voter Registration tab. Here you can download a voter registration application, cancel your registration, request a new ID card, view recognized political parties or change your party affiliation.
How to find out when elections happen:
On the Oklahoma State Election Board website, go to the “Elections & Results” page, click on the “Next Election” link, then the “2024 Election Calendar” link. This will take you to a list of dates and times elections are held.
How to find your polling place:
The OK Voter Portal will help you find your polling location & view a sample ballot for your precinct. Polls are open 7:00am to 7:00pm.
How to find what Tulsa City Council Precinct you live in & who your city councilor is:
You can visit http://www.tulsacouncil.org/ for information about the Tulsa City Council. On the home page, you’ll see a button titled “District Finder”. This will take you to an interactive tool that lets you type in an address, and find out what District you’re in, who your City Councilor is and a link to the District Website.

UPCOMING GOTV EVENTS
Community Walks (GOTV Edition)
HOSTED BY: Terence Crutcher Foundation
DATE: Saturday, July 13, 2024
TIME: 10:00am - 2:00pm
ADDRESS: Greenwood North @ North Pointe Shopping Center, 205 E. Pine St., Tulsa 74106
INFO:
Community Walks is a program where we canvass our community, get to know our neighbors, and understand what issues are affecting us. Canvassing is one of the most effective ways of reaching people where they are. Together, we have the opportunity to hear directly about the issues that are the most important to our fellow community members, because we believe the people who are closest to the problems are closest to the solutions.
Come out with us, not to promote a candidate, idea, or product, but to listen and learn about the collective struggles we face as a community to organize and mobilize community-based solutions. So grab a friend or loved one, and we'll see you there! We look forward to building community with you.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info@terencecrutcherfoundation.org or by calling 539-867-1304. We appreciate your participation.
