Nonprofits Can Help America Vote! Announcing a new web resource dedicated to giving nonprofits the tools they need. Congress passed the Help America Vote Act in response to voting problems in the 2000 election. With electronic voting provisions getting all the news coverage, the public is unaware of other new procedures mandated by the Help America Vote Act. Nonprofits are the public's best source of nonpartisan information about candidates and voting procedures. You can help set the stage for greater civic participation - get ideas at www.npaction.org/helpUSvote! For example, nonprofits can:

• help get their constituents registered
• educate them about the new laws (such a provisional balloting)
• assist at the polls or become a poll watcher
• sponsor candidate debates and forums.

Stop by www.npaction.org/helpUSvote and see how you can help with elections. While you're there learn about legal rules and how to continue your advocacy activities in an election season.
