Preparing for Election Day
The next few days are our chance to show what’s possible when working people stand together and mobilize each other. Talk to your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers—and make sure that the voices of working people are heard loud and clear on Election Day.
The best way to make sure your vote is counted and your voice is heard is to make a plan. Visit www.myunionmyvote.org to make your plan.
With more and more states putting in place stricter laws and using voter suppression tactics to disenfranchise voters, it has become critical that you’re ready to vote. Click on your state to get the latest laws and requirments you'll need to vote.
To learn more about the fight over voting rights and fair maps, and an outline of the key issues that will affect not only the November election but also our democracy going forward, check out the Brennan Center for Justice. For a wide-ranging analysis of the laws and political forces that could impact the right to vote in 2018, read the center's The State of Voting in 2018.
