This is not your Father’s Halloween event! In their day, they threw eggs at houses and filled up on snickers bars.

These days, we throw ballots around and fill up on Democracy!

Trick or Vote is a nationwide, nonpartisan canvass (in costume!) taking place near Halloween right here in Eugene. A spooky crew of monsters will be out in full force to remind young folks to vote, and you can be spooky too.

Studies show that the most effective way to get young people to vote before an election is to knock on their doors and encourage them to turn in their ballots. And what’s the one time of year when we’re all culturally ready for a knock on the door? Halloween! Just before the general election on November 4.

So while you might be too old to trick or treat, you’re never too old to Trick or Vote!

We need canvass volunteers! Sign up to volunteer via the link below or email EugeneTrickorVote@gmail.com.

Enjoy Ben Westlund’s words of inspiration, but be sure to save some energy for the season’s best after party featuring the musical stylings of Fortune Cookie Samba Ja and many more! Expect your favorite Halloween activities and full food buffet!

Be sure to meet here at WOW at 2:00 PM for the day ‘o’ fun! Music starts at 6:00 PM!

SHOWTIME: 2:00 PM - 10:00 PM, PRICE: Free for volunteers; $8 students, $10 adults.
