Making Democracy Work

Make a Voting Plan

First time and seasoned voters all need a plan before casting their ballot. Make a plan and get prepared to go to the polls:

Check your Registration and/or Register to Vote

It only takes 2 minutes to register. Get started by using our easy, online tool. Be sure to check your state's registration deadline. Some states allow you to register in person on Election Day or during early voting, while others require that you register in advance. You can also check your registration to make sure you're registered in your state!

Learn about your Early Voting Options

Many states offer absentee, mail-in voting or in person early voting options. See what your state allows.
