You really are doing the important work; don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
We have created a simple worksheet for you that helps you keep track of the information for the folks you commit to help.
It’s really simple.
We’ve compiled a few great websites you can use to help find the appropriate information
to best help craft a voting plan for each person:
Are They Registered? You can help them double check here: https://www.nass.org/can-I-vote/voter-registration-status

Make sure they know what kind of ID they need to bring: https://www.nass.org/can-i-vote/valid-forms-id
Are they able to vote early or by absentee? Find out here: https://www.nass.org/can-i-vote/absentee-early-voting
Getting to the polls on Election Day is a barrier for nearly 17% of voters.
Here’s some things you can let folks know about:
Lyft is, on Election Day, offering 50% off one ride up to $10 to any polling location or dropbox using the code 2020VOTE
Uber is offering a discount on election day, the promo is valid from 12:01am PT on November 3, 2020, to 3am PT on November 4, 2020. Max discount of $7 off each ride, for a maximum of two rides. The discounts will be automatically applied when you request your ride by using the polling finder.
If you’re a licensed driver - and you have permission from your legal guardian(s) - you can drive people to the polls yourself! It’s completely legal to do so; don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
