Increase Voter Turnout With Voting Reminders

Voter turnout, or lack thereof, remains a crucial concern in all elections. Low voter turnout can be especially damaging for member organizations, since these institutions require full participation to operate most effectively and in line with member wishes.

For this reason, SBS can incorporate participation reminders into its services, utilizing everything from emails and postcards to special letters intended to maximize turnout in organizational elections.

Data from around the world shows election reminders can increase voter turnout and increase voting response rate with email reminders. In fact, the greater the number of reminders, the more likely it is members will vote. Each round of participation reminders historically increases voter turnout by an average of approximately 5%. Organizations hoping to maximize voter response have a clear solution.

Strategic Methods for the Best Results

While voting reminders clearly influence voter turnout, they need to be designed strategically. Different types of voters will respond to different reminders. SBS offers voting reminders in a range of forms to work for every type of voter, including:

A voter who is comfortable with their smartphone might value an iCalendar reminder, while a less tech-savvy voter may prefer a letter or postcard sent in the mail. We carefully assess your voter pool to understand what reminder methods will have the most impact.

In addition to choosing the right reminders, timing plays a role. Individuals are more likely to respond to these reminders at certain times. When developing a reminder strategy, SBS considers the best times for the highest response rate from your voters.
