Good Election Day morning, ACLU Supporter.

I know this is a day that so many of us have been working towards. That's why I'm forwarding you this email first thing today, to ensure you have the resources you'll need.

Our rights are on the line in this election and now, it's time to vote like it. Or if you've already voted, you can help others be counted too. So please, utilize our Election Day toolkit below in any way you need and be sure to share it far and wide.

And remember that attorneys such as myself, and everyone on our team, are ready to act swiftly and with the full force of the ACLU should anyone try to undermine our democratic process.

In solidarity,

Dale Ho

Friend –

This is it. We made it to Election Day.

We don't have to tell you how pivotal this moment is. But we do want to make sure you, and anyone you know casting a ballot today, can vote like all our rights depend on it.

Because they do.

Here's your Election Day toolkit. Screenshot, save, and share anything you need below – and remember, you can find further voter resources for your state here.

Before You Vote in Your State:

✓ Double check your state's voter guidelines again for your poll site location, ballot return deadlines, and other details.

✓ Be sure you've researched what's at stake in your local races and ballot measures.

✓ If you have a mail-in ballot that you have not returned yet, use a drop box or return it in-person, if your state allows.

✓ In case your line to vote is longer: Pack water, food, and entertainment (a book, music*, etc.).

TIP: The ACLU's Let People Vote tool has state-specific voter information, down-ballot guides, voting tips, and more. Go to your state page now or visit: aclu.org/voter

Know Your Rights on Election Day With This List:

→ If the polls close while you're still in line, stay in line. You have the right to vote.

→ If you make a mistake on your ballot, ask for a new one.

→ If the machines are down at your polling place, ask for a paper ballot.

→ If you run into any problems or have questions on Election Day, call the Election Protection Hotline:

English: 1-866-OUR-VOTE / 1-866-687-8683

Spanish: 1-888-VE-Y-VOTA / 1-888-839-8682

Arabic: 1-844-YALLA-US / 1-844-925-5287

For Bengali, Cantonese, Hindi, Urdu, Korean, Mandarin, Tagalog, or Vietnamese: 1-888-274-8683

Finally, a Few Reminders About This Election:

1. We won't have the final results tonight, and that's okay. The presidential winner often reported on election night has always been based on projections anyways. Counting every vote is the most important thing, and that may take longer this year due to the pandemic and more people voting by absentee ballot.

2. Our legal and advocacy teams are primed and ready to protect your civil liberties at the polls – and wherever we may be needed. We'll be here no matter what happens.

3. Just in case you need this one more time: VOTE. If you've voted already, keep yourself occupied (and ease any anxiety) on Election Day by checking with your friends on their voting plans – and send this toolkit along to them, too.

ACLU Supporter, we know it's going to be a busy day for all of us, so save this in your inbox now, screenshot the information to have it on-hand, and share it with everyone on your list.

And thank you for being with us as we safeguard our rights through it all.

For our democracy,

The ACLU Team
