Get Ready to Vote
ACTION 3
Elections have a lot of rules. Some apply everywhere, while others can vary, even from one part of your town to another. And in today’s volatile political landscape, those rules can frequently change.
That’s why it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re prepared to vote this fall.
Know the rules, be informed, and make sure your voice is heard.
Check Your Registration Status
New systems, data purges, and policy updates can all impact your registration status. Check this before every election to make sure you are registered to vote and assigned to the party you want.
Register to Vote
Never voted before? Perhaps your registration has disappeared? Register by October 24th for the Massachusetts State Election.
Find Your Voting Location
Redistricting happens more often than we realize. Verify where you’re supposed to go on Election Day so you don’t get sent home without voting.
Find Upcoming Elections
Most news coverage only covers the marquee races — but plenty of other elections, for the local, state, and federal offices that actually run your government, are just as consequential. Check who is up for election on your ballot, and set calendar reminders to vote.
Vote By Mail
Given recent executive orders and cuts to the U.S. Postal Service, the most reliable method this election cycle is voting in person. If you cannot go in person, every state must offer a mail-in or absentee ballot. Even though the validity of mail-in ballots is being battled in courts, casting your vote this way is better than not at all. Get yours as soon as possible and track it.
