REGISTER TO VOTE: Animals don't have a vote, BUT YOU DO.

It's National Voter Registration Day and there are officially 42 days left until the November 3rd Presidential Election! With everything going on in the world today, there's nothing more important than letting your voice be heard on all the social and political issues you care about most. To make this easy for you, we've compiled a list of useful resources to help you through it.

STEP 1. START BY MAKING SURE YOU CAN VOTE.

CHECK YOUR VOTER STATUS

See if you're registered to vote in just 30 seconds.

REGISTER TO VOTE NOW

Not registered? Register now! Takes just 2 minutes.

GET VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT

Concerned about COVID-19? Voting by mail is a safe and convenient way to vote! Request your absentee ballot (aka mail in vote) here. 

STEP 2. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE VOTING ON AND WHO YOU'RE VOTING FOR.

SEE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES

Get to know the Presidential Candidates so that you can cast an informed vote in 2020.

SEE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES

See who's running for seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

SEE A SAMPLE BALLOT

STEP 3. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD BY VOTING!

Both voting in person and voting by mail have a long history of trustworthiness in the US. Voter fraud is extremely rare across voting methods and each voter's identity and eligibility are verified before their ballot is counted. Additionally, mail ballots in particular require extra steps for validation after they are returned by the voter (e.g. signature matching and ballot tracking).

HOW TO VOTE BY MAIL
