Get Out the Vote Contest, 3/15

Taco Island Charities Presents: Get Out the Vote Contest

Inspired by an idea from a few years ago, Taco Island Charities is pleased to launch another Get Out the Vote Contest! Here's how it works: the nation that best or most widely spreads the word about the upcoming elections (and current declarations) will win 8,000 , with a 1,000 bonus if the bonus if the all-time voter turnout record is broken for any of the races. Second place will earn 3,000 (Thanks Louisistan for the increased prize money!).

Efforts to get out the vote may include PM's, TG's, RMB posts, messages in one's forum signature or display name, or otherwise, but must be strictly nonpartisan to count towards this contest.

The only way I can think to judge this is my subjective judgment. If you end up using methods of GOTV like PM's and TG's which I cannot see directly, just let me know. Good luck to all the candidates and participants in this contest!

Seeing as I am a candidate, all my election ads will be strictly partisan

It's a great idea nonetheless and I believe that raising awareness about the elections and getting out the vote is important, no matter what the end result is.
Thus, we at "Louisistan for Lyonesse East" are proud to contribute another 5000 to this noble cause, to be split (3000 / 2000) between first and second place.

Donation coming in shortly through the appropriate slush fund!

Okay, fine. Just so long as it doesn't reduce the amount you spend on casino gambling.

So far, Ananke II has been advertising declarations fairly widely. With elections themselves about to start, this contest is still wide open, so be sure to get out the vote!

From what I can see, Ananke II has been continuing to push GOTV, now joined by the efforts of Klopstock! The winners of this contest are far from decided, though, so make sure to 1) vote and 2) get out the vote!

Thanks to everyone who voted and who encouraged others to do so! I'm proud to announce we have winners of the contest! For her many non-partisan reminders to vote (and to declare for office), first place in this month's GOTV contest goes to Ananke II! A close second-place finish is awarded to Klopstock! Congratulations both!
