INCBA invites YOU to ROLL TO THE POLL with us!


INCBA's Voter Registration Drive

The goal:

The goal of ROLL TO THE POLL is to inspire and facilitate voter participation within the cannabis community by helping industry professionals, businesses, consumers, and advocates register to vote, verify their registration status, and understand the voting process. By fostering civic engagement in a non-partisan manner, we aim to strengthen our collective voice and drive meaningful change within the industry and beyond. 

How you can help:

  1. We are asking all cannabis industry stakeholders to encourage civic engagement by adding the INCBA's ROLL TO THE POLL graphic (download graphic here) to your website or blog & link the graphic to INCBA's ROLL TO THE POLL voter registration tools here: https://incba.org/#vote.  
  2. Encourage others to use these free tools on their own websites to spark continued civic engagement across the cannabis space. “Roll to the Poll” was created by the International Cannabis Bar Association, powered by Vote.org's freely available voter widgets.
