[STATUS UPDATE] Emergency Voting Plan

View this email in your browser

Dear Friend, in case you missed it — because of your hard work helping to rally our state legislators, the Louisiana Emergency Voting Plan passed! Thank you. This means that voters will have more early voting time and expanded mail-in balloting options for the July 11 election.

This is great news and an amazing step in the right direction to ensuring everyone can safely cast their vote — but in a time like this, we should be expanding absentee voting to everyone.

No one should have to choose between exercising their right to vote and protecting their health, and we hope that anyone — doctors, nurses, first responders, everyone — may have access to vote by mail and further ensure their health and safety.

In fact, HB 419 by Rep. Mandie Landry would establish comprehensive and unrestricted Vote-By-Mail as an option for Louisiana voters this election season. Sign the petition below today to help make it happen!

According to the new Emergency Voting Plan — in addition to the pre-existing absentee ballot qualifications (more info on that here), you may be able to request an absentee ballot soon if you:

Are at a higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 because of certain medical conditions
Are subject to a quarantine or isolation order
Are advised by a health provider to self-quarantine
Are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and seeking medical confirmation
Are caring for someone who is quarantined or isolated because of the disease

We'll keep you posted when these new changes become available! As always, thank you for continuing to do your part by supporting one another remotely, wearing a mask during essential activities, and staying at home. We have a long way to go, but what you're doing is working! We hope you're safe and healthy.

Thank you,
Action New Orleans

P.S. — We also need your support to continue informing all New Orleanians of ways they can stay safe and help others during this crisis. Can you contribute now and help us keep our city strong?
