Solving Voter Turnout: Introducing the Voting Lottery | SFM E47

Send us Fan MailIf we support democracy, we've got to support and promote voting. But get-out-the-vote (or GOTV) promotions are often lackluster doorknob hangers or cringe advertising promotions by celebrities like Vote or Die or Rock the Vote. What else could we do to promote folks going out to vote?In today's solution, Braus proposes voting sweepstakes. If you vote, that enters you to win. For each election, there is a political winner but also a regular citizen who wins a cash prize. The plan could be set up by the government or a GOTV non-profit. Folks could start small and experiment with a mayoral or congressional election and measure what the effects of the voting sweepstakes would be.  Support the showHelp these new solutions spread by ...Subscribing wherever you listen to podcastsLeaving a 5-star review Sharing your favorite solution with your friends and network (this makes a BIG difference)Comments?
