This is the most important message we’ve ever written. 

In this U.S. election cycle, VOTE. 

Make sure your voice is heard and make your plan to vote now. Voting changed during the pandemic, and many states have new deadlines, new vote-by-mail rules, and new voting locations.

Double-check your voter registration, your polling place, and new rules where you live – and then make your voting plan.

Think through these questions, write down the answers, and put them on your fridge or somewhere else you’ll see them.

If you’re voting in person:

• Are you registered to vote? (Some states have scrubbed their rolls, so double check.)

• Where is your polling location?
• When will you vote? Is there early voting? What time will you go?
• How will you get to your polling place?
• Can you share this email with friends, or take anyone to the polls with you?
• Get the information you need at Vote 411 from the League of Women Voters. https://www.vote411.org/

If you’re voting by mail:

• Are you registered to vote? (Some states have scrubbed their rolls, so double check.)

• Have you received your ballot yet? If not, what’s the procedure for getting one in your state?
• How and when will you return your ballot? Will you mail it, or use a drop box (if your state has them)? If a drop box, where is that box located, and how and when will you get there?
• Can you share this email with friends, and make sure three friends or family members who don’t always vote are also returning their ballots?

Casting your ballot is nearly always a quick, easy way to live your values — but sometimes problems can occur. If something is wrong at your polling place or you’re having trouble casting your ballot, please reach out to the non-partisan Election Protection coalition’s website and hotline for help.  https://866ourvote.org/

Vote.  Our future depends on it.
