We all know registering to vote can be one of the most impactful steps someone takes toward participating in our democracy, but that journey often begins with a conversation. Whether it’s a chat with a friend, a trusted community leader, or a dedicated volunteer at a star-spangled celebration of democracy, those moments can make all the difference.
The 2026 elections will give voters the opportunity to shape decisions at every level of government. Ballots across the country will include all 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, 33 U.S. Senate seats, 36 governorships, over 6,100 state legislative seats, and tens of thousands of local offices that influence policies affecting daily life. That’s why we’ve created the 2026 Field Organizing Toolkit: a one-stop collection of tips, templates, and tools to help you host a powerful registration event and engage your community in the decisions that matter most.
Whether you’re setting up a table, canvassing your neighborhood, or trying something entirely new, this toolkit is designed to meet you where you are and make your voter registration efforts count.
