It's finally Election Day, ACLU Supporter!

This is a pivotal moment in the fight for so many of our rights. Abortion rights are on the ballot in states across the country, including Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. And with so many rights at stake, it's essential that every one of us with an election today is ready to cast a vote – and that ALL of us are paying attention to what's on the line.

While these elections are only in some states, what happens this evening will set the stage for our fight for reproductive freedom and our democracy in 2024 when abortion will be on the ballot in every state.

We've put together a one-stop guide with everything you need for today if you're voting – so screenshot, save, and share this with your community (and beyond) to make sure all of our votes can be cast and counted.

Know Your Rights

• If the polls close while you're still in line, stay in line. You have the right to vote.
• If you make a mistake on your ballot, ask for a new one.
• If the machines are down at your polling place, ask for a paper ballot.
• If you run into any problems or have questions on Election Day, call the Election Protection Hotline:
• 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
• Nationwide, our attorneys are monitoring today's elections and are ready to step in to protect you at the polls and ensure every vote is counted, no matter what.
• Remember, Election Day might not be results day – and that's normal. With absentee ballots, mail-in ballots, and other considerations, it takes time for state elections officials to count every vote.

Today's elections will help determine what the fight to protect abortion rights looks like in all fifty states going forward. We must send a clear message that we will not tolerate any attempt to rollback our rights, and ensure our friends and family know what this moment means for the future of abortion rights and our democracy.

If you're not voting today, follow us on social media to hear the results as they come in and help keep your friends informed so you can be part of the work to protect abortion rights in every single state. (The link above will direct you to a third party site, twitter.com).

ACLU Supporter, you and I know the work to protect our civil liberties doesn't end on Election Day. While so many of us cast our ballots today, we will be ready to fight any efforts to suppress voters and continue the year-round work to protect our civil liberties.

For our democracy,

The ACLU Team
