There's already a ton of election software or websites with names corresponding to "voting buddy" or similar

but I'd like a term for a person or group you've made an agreement with to each support and enable the other to vote. A source of mutual encouraging reminders (and maybe mild guilt about not meeting an expectation)

Any and all suggestions welcome. It would be great if there was a catchy name so this could become an accepted Thing

#voting #us politics #us elections #or any elections really #there are a lot of really clever people on this site i'm sure someone can vome up with something decent #like just a word for a person who works like a school fieldtrip buddy #the mutually voluntary human equivalent of a post-it note for each of you #or for a whole group? a groupchat or email chain even #just someone to check in and ask oh hey you voted yet? and idk offer help if there's an issue like #offer a ride or to watch the kids or to meet up and make it a fun get-together thing so it's not drudgery #could be anybody: friend parent co-worker random guy you see at the dogpark #bc it's not about *how* you're voting but just that you DO #saw somebody on here saying yeah they live in ny so it won't matter if they vote #which - tell me without telling me you don't care about local elections for one thing #but also uh can you maybe remember a time when counting the actual 'popular vote' actually became a really big deal???#for the entire nation even?#the us does not have ranked voting or required voting we need all the voter encouragement and support we can get
