Where do I get the Voter Registration forms/supplies?
County boards of elections can provide voter registration supplies to drive organizers in limited quantities (less than 1000 blank forms). If a larger quantity of forms is needed, organizers may request the forms directly from the State Board of Elections. You can also request posters from the Board of Elections to place at your drive location.
