Friends, voting is your right, your responsibility as a citizen and has never been more important as it is this year for 2020.
There are many reasons you may not cast your vote, from voter suppression efforts by those who don’t want you to vote, to simply not being able to get to the polling location during Election Day. This year, the presence of coronavirus (COVID-19) presents some new challenges we’ve never faced before. Regardless, your voice should and must be heard, our Democracy depends on it – one way to make sure your vote is counted is to Vote By Mail.
For this year’s General Election, the below rules are in place:
VOTE BY MAIL INFO FOR THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION
- All active registered Democrats and Republicans will receive a mail-in ballot.
