DEFEND YOUR VOTE

Federal threats to our elections are growing. We can protect our democracy by voting early and encouraging others to do the same.

  1. Vote early: Return your ballot during the FIRST WEEK you receive it. Early voting protects your vote from mail delays, legal challenges, and last minute confusion.
  2. Use a ballot drop box: Return your ballot to an official ballot dropbox at least one week before Election Day instead of mailing it. Drop boxes are secure, convenient, and eliminate concerns about postal delays.
  3. Pledge to be a 1st week voter: Our country is strongest when all of us show up, speak out, and refuse to be intimidated.
  4. Text to track: Text VOTE to VOTEWA (or the number 868392) for automatic ballot tracking. Receive automatic texts from the Secretary of State on when your ballot is mailed, received, and counted.
