#vote.org

Over 1.9 million people have used Vote.org so far in 2026, and the states leading the charge aren't just the biggest ones. Arkansas, Mississippi, Indiana, and Washington, D.C. are showing up across nearly all our tools - registering, verifying, requesting absentee ballots, and looking up ballot information at rates that far outpace their size. Illinois leads absentee and ballot information requests. Texas tops registration and verification. People across the nation are moving to the ballot box.

THE SAVE ACT IS NOW LAW IN FOUR STATES

South Dakota’s law is already in effect. New voter registrants must provide proof of U.S. citizenship in order to vote in state and local elections, including the June 2 primary. Voters who register without documentary proof are still allowed to vote in federal races only. Those who are already registered are not required to provide proof of citizenship again.

Utah’s law will take effect on May 6, 2026. Under this law, voters must provide documentary proof of citizenship to participate in state and local elections. If they do not provide proof, they may still vote in federal races until their citizenship is verified. In a separate review of more than 2 million voter records, Utah identified one apparent noncitizen registrant who had never voted.

Mississippi’s law will take effect on July 1, 2026. It requires additional citizenship checks for voter registration applicants and authorizes verification of existing voters, including annual checks of voter rolls against a federal immigration database. If a voter’s citizenship cannot be verified through these processes, they may be asked to provide documentation.

Florida has signed its law, with citizenship-related provisions set to take effect on January 1, 2027. The law requires documentary proof of citizenship in certain registration cases and directs election officials to verify some existing voter registrations using state and federal data. Voting-rights groups filed a lawsuit the same day the law was signed, arguing that it could create barriers for eligible voters who do not have easy access to the required documents.

Birth certificate replacements are available through the courthouse of the town you were born or naturalized in. Don't wait! If you need one, get the ball rolling now. There may be a fee, but it shouldn't be much - just to cover office costs. Many people need theirs replaced, as they often become lost. Google "replacing birth certificates in *x* state (or U.S. territory). You'll find what you need to do to get yours.

To replace a U.S. birth certificate for a person born abroad (technically called a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or CRBA, Form FS-240), you must submit a written, notarized request to the U.S. Department of State's Vital Records Section. This link, https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/requesting-a-record/replace-amend-CRBA.html will tell you how to do it.

Please VOTE! Don't let your voice be silenced!

Go Vote !

I said live/vote because some people are registered to vote in one place but are not living there for various reasons such as being military posted abroad.

I’m from a deep blue/red state, why should I vote?

I live in Massachusetts, my state will undoubtedly go blue for Harris and re-elect Senator Warren. Still, I will happily vote, not only to show my support for Harris and Warren, but also because there is so much more on your ballot and it’s just as important as the presidential election. You should vote because:

1) The House of Representatives is up for reelection every 2 years. While gerrymandering helps the GOP gain a majority, there are still many districts where they could flip blue if more left leaning voters turned out. In order for Harris to implement many of her promises, she needs a Democratic House to pass them.

2) 1/3 if all Senate seats are up for reelection. Once again, Harris needs a Democratic Senate to pass the bills with her plans in them.

3) Every state has local elections where maybe you won’t influence congress or the presidency, but you can still help elect progressive local candidates. In fact, these are some of the most important races. They pass laws that directly affect you, and for things like Secretary of State, they handle all elections. If your state is gerrymandered to hell and back, a progressive Secretary of State would be one way to combat voter suppression by the GOP.

4) Every state has ballot questions that directly impact your lives. Right now, 10 states have abortion questions on the ballot: (AZ, NV, CO, MD, NY, FL, MO, MT, NE, & SD) Ohio has a referendum that could end gerrymandering. They are one of the direct ways you can impact life in your state.

5) Last, but not least, even if you’re not in a swing state, every single vote still counts towards a popular vote. While it doesn’t decide the election, Trump is such a self absorbed ass that a huge popular vote against him will hurt just as much as losing the election via the electoral college. Vote to bruise is massive ego.

Can we make it two million?

Yes, you read that right! According to this article from The Hill, Vote.org has said that 38,500 people registered to vote in the 48 hours following Joe Biden’s announcement that he was dropping out of the presidential race, a record high in 48 hours for this election cycle. Notably, 83% of those who registered to vote in that time fell within the 18-34 age range. By my math, that’s almost 32,000 young voters.

This is so significant because young people are some of the least likely people to get out and vote — this could be a sign that perhaps we may see more proportionate voter turnout among young vs old voters!
