Your vote is your voice. Act today with Plan Your Vote, an artist initiative to promote and empower citizens to exercise their right to vote by linking them to state-specific information about registration, mail-in and absentee voting, voter ID requirements, and polling places. 

Today you should: register if you haven’t already, verify your registration if you have any doubt, check your absentee status if you aren’t sure, or set a reminder in case you forget.⁠ Head to planyourvote.org or vote.org to plan your voting strategy, and browse a library of voting advocacy images created by artists, including several familiar ones you may have seen at the Brooklyn Museum.⁠ ⁠ 

It’s National Voter Registration Day! Are you registered to vote? Are you sure? Head over to vote.org where it takes less than two minutes to check your status and register. Already registered and wondering what else you can do today? Tag a friend or family member and tell them to pass it on! You can also #PlanYourVote by heading to vote.org to request an absentee ballot, find your polling place, and much more. 

Voter registration deadlines are quickly approaching! Did you know that one in four people aren’t registered to vote? We’re sure you’ll agree with us when we say that number is TOO HIGH. If you are not yet registered, what are you waiting for? New Yorkers have until October 9th to be counted in the 2020 general election. Head to vote.org today for deadlines and important info to help you #PlanYourVote⁠.

Don’t let a pandemic stand in the way of your voice being heard! This election season, a majority of Americans are eligible to vote by mail. Many states have deadlines to request mail-in ballots less than two weeks before Election Day, but the Postal Service recommends that voters request mail-in ballots by October 19 to ensure that ballots are returned on time. 

Head to vote.org today for everything you need to prepare!
