Host a Table in Your Community
Is there an event in your community where you’d like to represent the Miami County Democrats?
Farmers markets, festivals, local events — or even just a busy weekend in your town.
If people are there, you can table.
We’ll provide the setup. You bring a friend, show up, and help us meet our neighbors.
Preferred notice: 2 weeks
Minimum notice: 2 days (if inside of that time frame please still reach out)


Tabling in Your Community: A Guide
What is tabling?
Tabling is simple: you set up a Miami County Democrats table at a community event and help people get connected.
You do not need to be an expert. You do not need to have every answer.
Your job is to:
say hello
talk with neighbors
invite people to stay connected
share voter information
help people learn how to get involved
A good first line is: “Hi! Are you from Miami County?”
That’s it. Start there.
Please do not table alone
For safety, comfort, and better conversations, each table should have at least two volunteers.
Bring a friend, family member, neighbor, or another Democrat in your area.
If you want to table but do not have a second person yet, tell us in the request form and we’ll see if we can help connect you with someone.
What comes in the tabling kit?
The kit includes:
pop-up canopy
small wheeled cart
6-foot table
Miami County Democrats table cover or table runner
easel and poster
voter registration information
voter information QR codes
Miami County Democrats information sheet
candidate information, when available
takeaways such as business cards
candy bowl
signup materials
pens and basic supplies
How It Works
Request the kit: Tell us where and when you’d like to table by filling out the form. We’ll ask for basic event details, including: event name, location, date/time, your contact information, and how many volunteers you have.
You can also text 620-214-0178 or email info@miamicoksdems.org.
We’ll coordinate with you: You'll get a follow up to confirm availability and arrange when and how you'll get and return the kit and make sure you have what you need.
Show up and connect: Bring a friend, set up the table, and talk with neighbors. After the event, you’ll return the kit and complete a quick report so we know what worked, what supplies need replaced, and how many people we reached.
You should bring:
at least one other volunteer
your own chairs
cooler and ice, if needed
What should I say if someone asks a question I can’t answer?
You do not have to know everything.
Try: “That’s a good question. I don’t want to guess, but we can help follow up.”
Or:
“I’m here as a volunteer, but I can help get you connected.”
Then invite them to leave their contact information or scan the QR code.
What makes a good table?
A good table is:
visible
friendly
organized
low-pressure
welcoming
A few tips
stand when you can
smile and say hello
keep the front of the table clear
put candy where people can see it
keep signup sheets easy to reach
do not block the QR code
do not argue with hostile people
Short conversations count. A wave counts. A friendly presence counts.
