Trick or Vote Description:
This Halloween season, on October 30th, hundreds of young Montanans will get decked out as ghosts and goblins to go door to door with Forward Montana Foundation--not for candy but for democracy. These volunteers, many of them too young to vote themselves, will be knocking on doors around Missoula to remind their peers to vote in the November election and then spending the rest of the night shaking their boooooooooooties for America.

Missoula's Trick or Vote effort is part of the nation's largest (and possibly only) costumed get-out-the-vote effort, led by local volunteers in cities across the country. In cities across the nation, Trick or Vote offers youth a signature mix of epic costume parties and direct community service, with proven results. In 2012, more than 250 organizations in 41 states hosted Trick or Vote events.
For Trick or Vote in Missoula, volunteers will meet up at the Hive on October 30 at 5:00pm for a quick training provided by Forward Montana Foundation. At around 5:45 volunteers will hit the streets and walk the city, reminding people to vote and turn in their ballot. After the canvass, volunteers will be treated to a free food and an enchanting after party with a chance to win awesome prizes from local missoula businesses!
