Hey, y’all...Election Day is (finally!!!) here.

Maybe you’re looking for ways to deal with Election Day stress. Maybe you’re looking for answers to questions about the electoral process. Maybe you’re looking for some powerful, inspirational content. And maybe you’re just looking for your polling place.

Whatever you need, we’ve got you. And however you’re feeling, let me say this: You matter. Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Even if you’re too young or ineligible to vote, everything you’ve done to contribute to this election is powerful and important. And considering all you’ve overcome (for starters, a global pandemic), you should feel *super* proud of the way you’ve stepped up to advocate for your friends, your family, and your community. Regardless of the election results, I feel hopeful for the future of our country because of the DoSomething community and young people like you. Thank you.

Let’s Do This!

Ben, Editor-in-chief

Election Day Is Here!

You are a Voter. We are The Voters. Now, it’s time to vote.

This election expects to see massive youth voter turnout. Over 7 million young people have already voted. More DoSomething members have registered in 2020 than ever before. And as the largest voting bloc, your generation is fired up and primed to help decide this election.

If you’re voting in person, find your polling place and learn what you need to bring in order to cast your vote.
If you’re voting absentee or by mail, learn how to properly fill out your ballot, how to return your ballot, and how to track your ballot’s status to make sure your vote is counted. (If you’ve already mailed your ballot, check to see if your ballot has been accepted and, if not, how you can fix it.)
If you have voting-related questions or problems, reach DoSomething’s Voting Help Textline by texting ELECTION to 38383.

You’ve got questions about the electoral process… and we’ve got all your answers.
