Petitions will be 'checked-out,' with each one requiring a 'check-in' date.
Each petition will have a post-it note covering the affidavite section,
with the phone number of the librarian.
Each petitioner will sign a pledge to return the petition,
regardless of how many signatures.
If a petitioner does not return the petition on the due date,
they will be asked to make a $25 donation to the effort.
Each petitioner will be emailed a weekly update newsletter,
listing collection locations, and cooperating notaries.
Outreach agents will follow up on signatures that are not correct.
The business cards are a great way to leave something behind
after contacting them about their voter's registration.
