Last week, we saw a crucial win for voting rights when the Supreme Court upheld a lower court injunction blocking the U.S. Postal Service from restricting voting by mail. In a year marked by attacks on our free and fair elections, this win brought some relief.
Voting is an essential right. With only 40 days left until Election Day, the most important thing you can do right now is make sure you have a plan to vote. Use our Turbovote tool to check your voter registration, find out what’s on your ballot, and see where, when, and how you can vote.
Make a Plan to Vote By November 3
Using the tool could not be easier. Just type in your home address, and it will
- show you a sample ballot,
- tell you what voting rules are in place in your state,
- give you options for voting early, by mail, or in person on Election Day,
- help you register if you’re not registered already, and
- provide a list of election-related deadlines in your state.
Once you’ve made a voting plan for yourself, make sure your friends and family do the same. Anyone can check their voter registration status, deadlines, and polling place here.
Voting is the most powerful tool we have to ensure a safe and healthy future for our children. It is an essential right. Let’s all make sure we use it.
