Overview
The Voter Education and Outreach Advisory Committee (VEOAC) is a diverse collection of community members who work with the Marin County Registrar of Voters to alert voters about upcoming elections and share important non-partisan messaging created by the Elections Department. Additionally, the VEOAC works to:
- Provide feedback on new outreach messaging and tools created by the Elections Department.
- Help inform voters about changes relating to the Voter’s Choice Act implementation.
- Help identify and invite any additional communities missing from the conversation.
- Advise the Registrar of Voters on effective strategies to serve voters in historically underrepresented communities.
Although the VEOAC will have meetings, it is expected that a more informal structure (for example, email communications) will allow for greater flexibility towards meeting the goal of addressing the diverse issues that may require input.
Membership
Members of the VEOAC consist of a diverse array of organizations including governmental and private non-profits; faith-based groups; academic, youth, and senior-oriented institutions; politically active groups; and community-based/service delivery organizations that provide culturally competent/intelligent services.
Invited partners are chosen because of several factors including a commitment to promote civic engagement, service to historically underrepresented voters, being a trusted place in the community, and a commitment to meet our mission of maximizing access and participation through knowledge.
Community members who are interested in serving on the VEOAC may contact Registrar of Voters by calling 415-473-6456.
