Raising Awareness of Voting’s Importance Among Nebraska's Health Care Employees

The 2022 elections are important … and it’s equally important that health care employees’ voices are heard through voting!

The AHA’s “We Care, We Vote” website, wecarewevote.aha.org, provides sample materials hospitals can use, including get-out-the-vote email messages and social media posts to raise awareness of the importance of voting.

Listed below are suggested activities to encourage voter participation in the 2022 mid-term election. Coordinate your efforts with your organization’s leadership.

  • Hold a voter registration drive at your hospital. Plan drives around Oct. 8, the 30-day pre-election countdown or the week of Sept. 26-30, which is “Employer Voter Registration Week.” Also, post links on your employee intranet to non-partisan voter registration sites, such as www.vote.org and www.nass.org/can-I-vote.
  • Publish an article in your employee newsletter or blog from your CEO encouraging employees to register to vote and vote on Nov. 8.
  • Employ recorded messages and emails from your CEO encouraging employees to register to vote and vote on Election Day.
  • Use your hospital's social media channels, like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, to encourage your employees and community to register and vote.
  • Communicate to employees information about local voting. Consider posting voting registration deadlines on your intranet site.
