When embedding TurboVote on your site, it’s helpful to adhere to a few guidelines to ensure a seamless integration.
Dos
We recommend that TurboVote partners:
- Create a TurboVote hub on your proprietary website. You can embed your entire home page or standalone tools (such as the Get Election Reminders signup form) on a dedicated page with a short URL (i.e., yourwebsite.org/vote). Link to it from your website navigation, and share it in online campaigns and TurboVote notifications.
- Create separate pages dedicated to key actions you want visitors to your site to take. Examples include:
- Adding a Search Tool embed to your site, which allows your audience to enter their address or state for customized voting guidance.
- A “/register” page featuring your TurboVote registration assistance form.
- A “/preregister” page featuring your TurboVote Preregistration assistance form.
- A “/check-registration” page featuring your TurboVote Check Your Registration form.
- You can seamlessly integrate TurboVote sign-up forms into your site by adding your own page title and hiding TurboVote’s by appending &seamless=true to your iFrame src URL
TurboVote partner Dominicanos USA embedded their home page on their website alongside key information and inspiring calls-to-action specific to their audience.
Don’ts
To help ensure your audience can easily and expediently access TurboVote on your site, we advise partners against:
- Plugging embed code into a “pop-up” modal dialog.
- Embedding more than one TurboVote tool on one page.
- Embedding TurboVote on a page that has promotional modal dialogs or pop-ups that obscure or cover the embed, or that otherwise get in the way of the user immediately accessing the TurboVote tool.
- Embedding TurboVote on a page with other primary actions or a lot of text.
