The National Association of Home Builders has kicked off four months of election activities with the launch of a comprehensive election Web site (www.nahb.org/elections) for its members and their employees.
The Web site, which helps users in all 50 states register to vote and vote early, is a member service and which NAHB hopes will position it as a leading source of election information for its members, their families and their employees.
“We’re committed to giving to home builders a strong voice in choosing their elected officials this November,” said NAHB President Bobby Rayburn, a home and apartment builder and developer from Jackson, Miss. “Our new Web site offers our members the tools they need to make the voting process as easy and uncomplicated as possible.”
In addition to the site’s early voting and voter registration features, www.nahb.org/elections contains a variety of election resources, including the latest national poll results, information on NAHB’s activities at the nominating conventions and contribution information.
The early voting and voter registration areas of the site leverage recent voting law changes to help members and their contacts take advantage of convenient voting methods, such as early voting, absentee voting and voting by mail. Although each state has its own set of election laws, three-fourths of them allow their citizens to vote early - some as early as 43 days before Election Day.
NAHB members can view the full suite of NAHB’s election resources at www.nahb.org/elections. Non-members can get more information on voting laws and requirements in their state on how to register to vote or vote early by going to http://homebuilders.helpingamericansvote.org.
