Election season is indeed a crucial time for citizens to make informed decisions about the future leadership of their communities, states, and even the nation. Here are a few things you can do to prepare:
1. Get informed: Start researching candidates, platforms, and issues. Look for non-partisan sources of information to get an unbiased look at each candidate and what they stand for.
2. Check your registration: Make sure you’re registered to vote. If not, 17 days is plenty of time to get registered.
3. Plan your vote: Decide whether you’ll vote early, vote by mail, or vote in person. Each option has different deadlines and requirements, so confirm these details ahead of time.
4. Engage others: encourage family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues to participate in the election. Share non-partisan resources, and discuss the importance of voting.
Remember that local and state elections can have a significant impact on your day-to-day life, so it’s important to participate in them in addition to the national elections. So, use these upcoming 17 days to prepare yourself and others to participate effectively in the forthcoming elections.
