HAPPY 2020 NATIONAL VOTER REGISTRATION DAY!
|
|
Hello AdvOCAtes,
September 22 is National Voter Registration Day (NVRD)! In honor of today, we are releasing our state voter tool kits for the 2020 General Election. These toolkits are meant to serve as guides to navigate voter registration, voter ID information, and voting during COVID-19. They contain resources from your Secretaries of State/Departments of State/Election Boards in addition to information from other voting nonprofit organizations. This year is a presidential election; we encourage everyone to be active in their local communities by registering to vote if eligible, and learning about which initiatives and candidates are on your ballots. Reply to this email for more GOTV resources!
With less than 10 days until the deadline, remember to fill out the Census! The deadline of the Census is September 30. If you still need to fill out the Census, visit 2020census.gov.
