Blink and you could miss Election Day. Do you have a plan?
One of the main goals of Heart of the Village is to help each and every one of you create and sustain your own social justice practice. Voting in our local, state and national elections is crucial to that practice.
Whether this is your first time voting or your fiftieth, we want you to do it up this year! Most of you know how very much is at stake this election. So all of us here at HOTV challenge you to go big.
Of course, Covid is changing the voting game this election cycle, so we could all use an upgrade to our game plans.
We’re doing the usual brushing up on the issues and candidates, powwowing with friends and family, and doing our research now so we’ll be ready when the big day arrives. But there are practical decisions to be made, and details to batten down.
Here are a few tips for making it count:
Don’t forget to sign and date your ballot envelope
Post your ballot by October 27 so it has plenty of time to arrive on time
Or bring to your local drop box before November 3
Track your ballot with BallotTrax - signing up is quick and easy
Missed the deadline to mail in your ballot? No problem - just drop it off at any polling place on Nov. 3
VOTE IN PERSON
