Elections matter. The people we elect to represent us – from the White House to the State House to City and Town Council – hold tremendous power over our lives.
We also believe that a free, fair, and equitable political process is essential to advancing protections that are critical to our health, our environment, and future generations. To achieve this, we must ensure that all people can safely participate in our elections and actively combat voter suppression tactics that most often target people of color.

Vote by Mail Guidance
If you’re filling out a mail-in ballot, here’s how to do it correctly:
- Read the enclosed instructions carefully on how to mark your ballot and be sure to complete the front and back of each page. Vote in every race on the ballot you’re comfortable with, and do your research if you need to know more.
- Put your ballot into the inner certification envelope. Fill out and sign the certificate, keeping it attached to the inner envelope.
- Seal the certificate envelope, and then place it into the pre-paid mailing envelope.
- Once you complete your ballot, return it right away. There are a number of ways you can do this:
- Drop it into a secure ballot drop box in your county.
- Take it directly to your County Board of Elections office.
- After you return your ballot, you can track its status using the state’s online tool.
