WASHINGTON — Recognizing the seismic change in early voting in both Presidential and Congressional races, CUNA said this week it has stepped up its get-out-the-vote campaign by revamping Web site aids and offering new online tools to get CU employees, volunteers and members registered in larger numbers.
"We've redesigned our online Election Action center making it easy and simple for credit union members and employees not only to register and obtain absentee ballots and send them in, but also to locate polling places and hours of operation," said Trey Hawkins, CUNA's political director.
In addition to Web site enhancements, CUNA is issuing its Election Watch newsletter on a twice a month basis to keep CU leaders informed on the status of current races.

"Our Web site is interactive giving credit union staffers a chance to get all the pertinent information they need to get registered since it is so important the credit union voice be heard this year," said Hawkins.
The CUNA official noted the large number of ballots that have already been cast in several states with Oregon, for one, eliminating polling sites completely and doing all of its voting by mail.
As has been cited frequently by CUNA, CU members indeed are active voters with 44% registered making it imperative, he said, that they actually follow through on their democratic duty Nov. 4.
