ACTE has also established an election web page at www.acteonline. org/2012ElectionWatch that contains information on grassroots voter registration, mobilization, get-out-the-vote techniques and other advocacy strategies that you can use to help promote CTE issues during this important election year. If you are seeking information on elections in your state, district or community, you can find it on ACTE’s Action Center, which is housed on the Policy & Advocacy pages of the website (www.acteonline.org). Just plug in your zip code in the “Write to Congress: Find Your Representative” box, click the “Go” button and then click on the “Election” button at the top of the next page. You will find plenty of information from voter registration instructions to candidates running for office in your state and local area. Don’t forget to research ballot initiatives, too! In addition to the ballot initiative info on ACTE’s Action Center, the

National Conference of State Legislatures website includes a Ballot Measures Database at www.ncsl.org/legislatureselections/elections/ballot-measures-database.aspx. The website allows you to search by state, topic (e.g., Education: Higher Ed or Education: K-12) and many other categories. The political campaign season has been grueling but don’t lose hope. You can make a difference, and ACTE can support you as you advocate for CTE!
