Tomorrow, we will elect the next President of the United States. The result will have great consequences for the nation. This election offers a choice between two men with dramatically different visions of the future. We have strong feelings about this choice. But we feel even more strongly that all Americans, regardless of political preference, have a stake in the outcome and should vote in this critical election.
This is likely to be a close election. Your vote matters. Please use it and make a difference.
If you do encounter long lines, here are some ways to have fun and ensure you can vote:
- Go with friends and/or bring phones, iPods, lawn chairs, food, reading materials, proper clothing, etc.
- Don't believe the polls if they say a candidate is winning or losing. They've been wrong before.
- Ask for the day-off from work or class.
- Verify your polling location BEFORE you head to the polls by calling 1-866-OUR-VOTE or contact your local County Election Office. Or, use the Google Maps Voter Info.
- Help others stay in line. Share your food, drink, music, reading materials, election protection information. Remember: we're in this together.
- Make sure to take this number with you so that if you encounter any problems, you can talk to nonpartisan election lawyers who can help: 1-866-OUR-VOTE or request a provisional ballot.
- If you do run into any issues at the polls, Video The Vote and document election problems.
