voter education

Teaching election participation

Voter education refers to efforts that inform citizens about electoral processes—how to register, where to vote, what identification is required, how ballots work.

The term covers both nonpartisan civic programs and government initiatives: The league conducts voter education drives before every election.

It may also include explaining candidates' positions and ballot measures, though this shades into advocacy.
