Get Ready to Vote

It’s almost time to vote! Make sure you’re prepared and have all of the information you need to exercise your constitutional right.

Check your voter registration.

Confirm your voter registration here. You’ll also be able to find out essential election information, including dates & deadlines in your state. Take note and mark your calendars!

Does your state have early voting?

Find out and, if so, cast your ballot as soon as you’re able to. The more people vote early, the better chance we have of keeping polling places and systems for mail-in voting from being overwhelmed in November.

Find your polling place.

You know if you can vote. Now find out where to vote, if you're planning on casting your vote in person.

Stay informed about local elections.

Local elections have never been more critical. Find out about state and local elections where you live and get to know the candidates and their platforms. You can also sign up for local election alerts!

Know your state’s rules about mail-in voting.

Find out your state’s rules regarding voting by mail. If you are planning on voting by mail, request your ballot today. With uncertainty facing the United States Postal Service, it’s important to know that you can drop off your mail-in ballot at designated drop-boxes. Find out where your closest drop-off location is.

If your requested ballot has not come in the mail, contact your local election office.

Sign up to be a poll worker.

Older Americans make up the majority of poll workers across the country. This year, many are rightfully concerned about their health as the country continues to deal with COVID-19. If you’re young and healthy and want to get involved, consider signing up to be an election worker.
