Question
We are a free association library. More than 90% of our funding comes from a tax levy voted on by local residents when they vote on our local school district budget.
We are considering strategies for reminding library patrons to go out and vote. We do not have a friends group.
We know that the library cannot say “vote yes.” But we are unsure of where the line is.
Can we create a Facebook event for the Library Budget Vote, reminding people to vote?
In emails, social posts, or other marketing materials reminding people to vote on the library budget, can we use language like:
“Your vote matters!”
“Library supporters- your vote is critical!”
Thanks for clarifying!
