There's less than a week left until Election Day, and already millions of votes have been cast in this year's election. So first, in case you haven't cast your vote yet, or know anyone who hasn't, we wanted to share our handy checklist with you. Screenshot it, save it for yourself or the group chat, and enjoy!

And second, we wanted to share an update on everything we've been doing in these final days. Our voting rights cases all over the country are moving quickly so read on for the latest round of in-depth, on-the-ground updates as the ACLU with our affiliates across the country protect the right to vote:

GEORGIA
Huge win in our fight to block a new hand-counting rule
In a HUGE win for Georgian voters, a judge officially and permanently BLOCKED Georgia's new anti-voter rule that would've required poll workers to hand-count ballots. This rule was an eleventh-hour, needless attempt at undermining the will of voters and introducing chaos, errors, and delays into the counting process. Because of our work, Georgia voters can cast their ballots assured that the state's trusted and reliable counting process will remain in place for this election. Read more. <[link removed]>

PENNSYLVANIA
We took on Pennsylvania – and won!
Pennsylvania voters represented by the ACLU, ACLU-PA, and the Public Interest Law Center, won a critical victory! On October 23, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that voters whose mail-in ballots are rejected due to meaningless, common mistakes, such as an incorrect or missing date on the ballot envelope, can still cast a provisional ballot and have their votes counted. This is a huge step forward towards protecting voting rights and stopping voter disenfranchisement. But the fight isn't over until we ensure that every eligible voter has their ballot counted.

NEBRASKA
Thousands of Nebraskans with felony convictions will be able to vote on November 5
The Nebraska Supreme Court finally issued their ruling on our lawsuit demanding election officials let Nebraskans with past felony convictions vote – and we WON. This is an important victory for at least 7,000 eligible Nebraska voters impacted by this ruling who will be able to cast ballots in November and beyond. Read more. <[link removed]>

NEVADA
Defending against an improper purge of the voting rolls
In a victory for voting rights, two cases that could have led to the improper removal of over 11,000 registered voters in Washoe County and 20,000 registered voters in Clark County were both dismissed. Such last minute attempts at mass disenfranchisement not only risk silencing voices but undermine trust in the electoral process. ACLU National and the ACLU of Nevada intervened as defendants in the suits to protect the voting rights of tens of thousands of Nevadans ahead of the November 2024 general election.
