VOTE411 Got a Makeover!

Posted on by

Take a look at the new VOTE411.org website (https://www.vote411.org/) and start thinking about things you can do to help citizens use it effectively. People have gotten used to a certain look and now that it has changed, there may be some confusion and frustration.

When you are at events, be sure to have phones, tablets, or laptops available so that you can show it to folks and see if they have any questions. But, before you do that, take a few minutes to run through it yourself and see what has changed.

Every online or digital document you have with the old VOTE411 logo on it needs to now have the new logo on it. You can find the logo files to download as well as the special VOTE411 Brand Standards at https://www.lwv.org/league-management/brand-standards/vote411-brand-standards-and-logo-files

Please direct any questions you may have to and one of the committee members will try to assist you.
