What you need to know this Election Day

If you're an eligible voter who hasn't voted yet – casting your ballot today is the most important thing you can do for our democracy.

Pamela, I'm sending this Election Day email to make sure you see all of the tools and resources that Common Cause is making available to voters this year.   But first, I wanted to remind you that our work to defend democracy doesn't end today – and we may not know the full election results tonight. And that's okay, because making sure every last ballot is counted accurately – and every last voice is heard – is far more important than getting results quickly! Read our guide online >> We have a lot of work ahead of us to make sure our democracy includes everyone and works for all of us. But as you read this, the millions of Americans heading to the polls today will decide, together, what path our nation will take forward. That's nothing short of remarkable. Pamela, if you're an eligible voter who hasn't voted yet – casting your ballot today is the most important thing you can do for our democracy. Here are some things to keep in mind if you're headed to the polls: 1) Call 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) if you have any trouble voting today or if there's a problem at your polling place. Trained nonpartisan volunteers are ready to assist voters all day and all night – and hotline options are available in languages other than English as well: Spanish/English: 888-VE-Y-VOTA (888-839-8682) Asian Languages/English: 888-API-VOTE (888-274-8683) Arabic/English: 844-YALLA-US (844-925-5287) Also, keep an eye out for nonpartisan Election Protection poll monitors, who will be stationed at polling places across the country today. They're there to help you and voters like you with any questions you might have about the voting process. If it is suggested that you use a provisional ballot, remember that it is far better to try to fix the issue if possible. And ALWAYS call 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) before voting provisionally – just to double-check whether a provisional ballot is your only option. Learn more and share this information with your friends and family at commoncause.org/electionprotection >> 2) Before you head out, use our Voting Toolkit to double-check your registration status and your polling place.
