October 13, 2020 John,
Election Day is only three weeks from today. Make sure that you have a plan to make your voice heard!
Ask yourself HOW do you plan to vote:
Ask yourself WHEN you plan to vote: Put it in your calendar today!
-
If voting in person:
-
Learn out where your polling location is. Your early voting location may be different than your location on November 3.
-
Confirm the hours of your polling place and your transportation plan.
-
Think about what you’ll need to bring to the polls, including your voter ID, a mask, and anything you may need in case there’s a line.
-
If voting by mail:
-
Did you request your ballot? When should it arrive?
-
Once you have your ballot, did you fill it out according to all the stated instructions? Use a pen of the proper color? Ensure you’ve completely filled in the circles next to your chosen candidate or ballot questions?
-
Did you sign all the proper locations and insert properly into any envelopes or privacy folders?
-
Where will you drop it off? Ballot drop-box? Mail box? At a voting location? What deadlines do you need to be aware of?
Asking yourself these questions may seem a little silly, but it will give you the piece of mind you need to know that you're going to be able to make your voice heard this election.
Make sure you’re an informed voter when it comes to those running to represent you in the Statehouse and in Washington, DC. Visit NORML Election Central for information on how to check your voter registration or get registered to vote, and learn about pending initiatives..

Thanks,
