John,

Huge news: Four states have now announced they will protect voters from risking their health in upcoming elections by offering vote at home. But voters in 13 states will still be forced to choose between their health and their right to vote.

Now is the time to put pressure on Congress to pass the vote at home bill, protecting all Americans during a public health emergency. Will you share this video to spread the word about vote at home, and how people in any state can help protect voters this election season?

Here's the promising news:

  • Virginia and West Virginia led the pack, announcing last week that they would allow vote at home for their upcoming elections.
  • In Indiana, voters can now vote by mail by submitting a request to their county election board by May 21 either by mail, email, fax, or hand-delivery to have a ballot sent to them.
  • In Alabama, the Secretary of State announced that voters who wish to vote from home so that they can avoid contracting or transmitting the virus can now apply for a vote by mail application.
  • Massachusetts is making some headway: This week the state announced it will allow no-excuse absentee voting for town and special elections held before June 30. The state hasn't yet extended this to the September 1 state primary.

For more on how to request a ballot, enter your state on our Vote at Home resources page here.

John, the news from these states could push Congress to enact vote at home and protect Americans in all 50 states… but only if we keep up the pressure.

So take a moment to share this video. It'll help your friends learn about their voting options, and multiply the impact of this campaign.
