Make a plan to vote

Ensuring that you and all eligible in your home are ready to vote in the November election is an important part of participating in our democracy! Right now is the best time to make sure college students (age 18 on/before Nov 5) and anyone else who will be away from home is prepared.

(1) Are you/they registered?

(2) Have you/they submitted an absentee ballot application (available now!)?

(3) Have you/they purchased a stamp to return the absentee ballot (this may seem small, but believe me, it can be a deterrent)? Or do you have a plan for a family member to return it?

Read on for the details!
