Dear John, As Americans consider how to safely cast their ballot this year, voting by mail has emerged as an important option. But the rules for voting by mail are different in every state! In some states, you need a prescribed excuse to request your absentee ballot. And a copy of your ID might be required, under state or federal law, when requesting or submitting your mail-in ballot. What's more, states are changing rules and deadlines on a daily basis. Details and forms are scattered across various websites. Voters are understandably confused. VoteRiders is here to help! - We're tracking and updating each state's vote-by-mail requirements on our website. Visits to this page have increased over 600% since the beginning of the year!
- Our newly launched Photocopy My ID program offers a pivotal lifeline to absentee voters: a way to create a copy of their ID in these COVID-19 times when they don't have access to a printer.
- Our Helpline and Chatbot – along with our crucial, volunteer-driven phonebanking, textbanking and letter writing – make up-to-date information and assistance easily accessible to voters.
Election Day is fast approaching, and important state and local primaries are taking place all summer. YOU CAN HELP guarantee that every eligible American can safely and confidently vote this year. Please share this vital information with your friends, family, and communities: | |
Thank you for joining us in ensuring the right to vote for all eligible citizens! With our gratitude, Kathleen and the VoteRiders Team | |
