Did you know that U.S. voter turnout trails most developed countries?
More than half of eligible voters in the United States voted in the 2018 midterm elections; hopefully, there will be a similar turnout on November 3rd. On Election Day, you would be voting for your representatives in Congress, for the President, and often pieces of legislation from your local, county, or state governments.
Why should I vote? Voting in this upcoming election does not just affect the presidency. Your votes could potentially influence access to education, basic income, healthcare, tax policies, childcare, and much more. So, it gives you the power to elect your representative, but it also helps you become a crucial part of the decision-making process affecting your regular life.
Voting is a privilege and fundamental right that every citizen should exercise, irrespective of age, knowledge, or experience.

Outside of in-person voting, there are a few alternative options for voting in elections. First, absentee voting allows you to vote by mail every election year, however, the rules for absentee voting vary from state to state. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, many states have a wider array of vote by mail options. Make sure to stay up-to-date with your state's voting information.
