ACLU Supporter, next Tuesday is Election Day in many states – so we're reaching out to ACLU supporters across the country to make sure that everyone is ready to vote like our rights depend on it.

Why? Because this year, our civil liberties are on the line. States like Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and others are making major decisions that will determine our fundamental rights like whether we can access abortion. While these elections are only in some states, what happens next Tuesday will set the stage for our fight for reproductive freedom and our democracy in 2024.

Even if you don't have an election on Tuesday, staying informed on key elections and sharing information with your community can make a big difference in our shared work.

So our teams have assembled a voting plan guide for anyone to use – if you voted early, are already prepared to vote, or don't have an election in your area, we urge you to share this with your friends and neighbors.

Make Your Election Day Plan

• First, find out what elections are happening in your area and research what's at stake in your local races and ballot measures. If your area isn't voting on Tuesday, read up on key elections the ACLU is tracking in Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
• Check your state's voter guidelines to confirm your polling location, ballot return deadlines, any materials you might need to bring with you like your state ID, and other details.
• Don't have an election this year? Confirm your voter registration is up to date so you don't miss an opportunity to have your vote cast and counted in the future.
• If you have a mail-in ballot that you have not returned yet, use a drop box or return it in person if your state allows.
• If you are voting in person, pack a few essentials in case your line to vote is longer – like water, food, and entertainment.
• Remember to call the Election Protection Hotline if you run into any problems or have any questions on Election Day:
• English: 1-866-OUR-VOTE / 1-866-687-8683
• Spanish: 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA / 1-888-839-8682
• Arabic: 1-844-YALLA-US / 1-844-925-5287
• For Bengali, Cantonese, Hindi, Urdu, Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog, or Vietnamese: 1-888-274-8683

After Tuesday, whether you had an election or not, join us in tracking the results so you can help educate your community on what's next in the fight for abortion access, voting rights, and beyond.

Finally, remember that no matter what happens on Tuesday, the ACLU will always be here ready to protect your civil liberties wherever we may be needed – and we're so grateful to you for being part of this work with us.

Thanks for all you do,

The ACLU Team
