John,

Did you know that people who make a plan to vote are actually more likely to vote?

Election Day is just a few weeks away and Election Season is in full swing. If you haven’t already, now is the time to make your plan to vote. Voting doesn’t have to be difficult -- Remember, whether you choose to vote early this year, vote by mail, or in-person, you have options to make voting safe and convenient for you.

If you're voting in-person on Election Day, think about your schedule for the day and take proper precautions to reduce your exposure to COVID.

MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE

When making your plan to vote, consider the following:

• HOW you plan to vote. Decide if you’re voting by mail or in-person. If you’re voting by mail, return your ballot early and safely. If you're planning to vote in person, be prepared to stand in line for a while. Dress comfortably. Bring snacks.
• WHEN you will vote. Decide what day and time you’re voting, if you’re voting in person.
• WHERE you will vote. Know the address of your ballot drop-off location or polling place and decide how you're going to get to your polling place.
• WHO and WHAT you will vote for. Research the candidates and issues on your ballot.

A few questions to ask yourself: Will you need to vote in the morning, or later in the day, after your kids are done with online learning? Do you need a ride to your polling place? Does your neighbor?

It's also important to research your candidates and make a list of who and what you want to vote for ahead of time. And plan to encourage everyone -- your partner, Facebook friends, newly eligible 18-year-olds in your family and social circle, your neighbor -- to get registered and make a plan to vote.

MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE

This year, voting will look different due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a record number of voters participating before Election Day (Nov. 3) through early voting and vote-by-mail options. But it's important to remember that your vote makes all the difference in the world -- voting is one way to reimagine a future that works for domestic workers, caregivers, women of color, and immigrants. So, make sure YOUR voice is heard -- put your plan in place this Election Season to ensure your vote counts.

Thanks,
