A friendly reminder.



River:  Are we registered to vote?
Simon:  I'm not sure.
River:  We better check just to be on the safe side!
Simon:  While we're at it, we should request absentee ballots too because it's comfy here and I don't want to get up!

Simon and River just want to remind you to:
1.  Register to vote if you haven't yet.
2.  Check on your voter registration status to make sure it is active (voter roll purges can and do happen prior to elections).
3.  Check that your current address is correct on your driver's license/state ID and that it matches the one on your voter registration.
4.  Request a mail-in (absentee) ballot if you don't want to stand in line on election day or risk COVID-19 exposure.

Here is a link to find your state's election office, where you can do all of the above:  https://www.usa.gov/election-office 

You'll want to do this as soon as possible because different states have different deadlines and requirements for absentee ballot requests.

**Set a reminder on your phone to check your voter registration status again a month or so prior to the elections just to be sure your voter status is still active and all of the info is correct.

Hi Anon and Mónica!

It's anybun's guess, but I can always count on them to do their patriotic duty and vote so their voices will be heard. :)

No matter where you are, always get out there and vote in every election you can--from the local ones to the national ones! Ignore anyone who tries to convince you that your vote doesn't matter, because they're hoping you'll silence your own voice and laugh all the way to the polls themselves. Fight to keep your freedoms and make the world a better place for everyone in it! (I'll give the dapper little munchkins a noogie for you!) :)
