Vote-by-mail will be essential for a safe and secure election this November. But it will be a challenge. The process can be confusing — several counties have election websites with no information about dropboxes or any guides for how to vote by mail. And it takes time, especially with changes at the USPS that have slowed things down. 

For some people, even if they crack the code and figure out how to vote, they don’t have the resources to be able to do so. 

John, please chip in to our Sponsor-a-Voter effort to help provide voting resources for underserved communities in key states.

If you have a driver’s license, a computer, and live in a state that offers an online application process for vote-by-mail, you probably have all the resources you need to be able to do so. But keep reading. 

Some people do not have a driver’s license and, therefore, cannot apply for a ballot online. Many of those same people do not have the home printer, stamps, or envelopes required to print out and send in an application. We are working to provide these resources to people who need it. And we need you. 

Please chip in to our Sponsor-a-Voter effort to help provide vote-by-mail resources for underserved communities. For every $2, we'll be able to print and mail vote-by-mail forms to one voter in a key state.

If you yourself do not have the resources you need to be able to sign up to vote by mail online, use our tool to request a pre-posted, pre-addressed vote by mail application to be sent directly to you! 

In all honesty, we cannot do this without your help. Election day is approaching and the earlier we get resources to people, the better. If you can, support the "Sponsor-a-Voter" effort today. Every bit helps.
