1 Day to Go
Share your #votingstory
As overseas voters, we don’t get to vote in person: wait in a line, get ticked off a list, go into a booth, and get a real sticker at the end. But we have our own stories and voting journeys. What’s yours? Aren’t you glad you voted? How did it go? Did anyone help you? Share your story with us. Share this post to your timeline, put your story in a caption, tag us, and tag a friend asking them to share their story too. #votingstories
2 Days to Go
Last call - 24 Hour Voter Help Session - Share the Link!
Today is the final 24 hour Voter Help session via Zoom - we also have sessions on Monday and Tuesday. But today is the last day that your overseas friends can get help with any question they have about their ballot at any time today. Make sure your friends know this. Share the link to the QR code https://qrco.de/bbh0zg
There are 13 states where you can still start the entire voting process - voter registration & ballot request (AZ, CO, CT, IA, KS, ME, MN, MT, NC, ND, NH, VT, WA) [though 4 of those (CT, MN, NH, VT) require the ballots to be received by mail by November 3rd so that’s a challenge!].
And if you are registered already but just have to request your ballot, there are 12 states where you can do that (AK, DE, FL, GA, IN, LA, MS, OR, PA, SC, SD, WY). [The two states that require ballots to be mailed (GA & PA) currently have extended deadlines past a postmark of November 2nd or 3rd but we are urging folks to get those in by Election Day.]
So the bottom line is there are still 25 states where you can request your ballot as of today November 1 -- so if you’ve given up, don’t! It may not be too late! And the way to find out is to ask -- get help with us on Zoom!
