In just a few days, July 31 will mark 100 days out from the midterm election. This fall when voters head to the polls, we get to choose who represents us, including:
- All 435 members of the House of Representatives
- 35 out of 100 senators
- 39 state and territorial governors
- Numerous other elected officials in our local and state governments
The more than 500 people we elect this year will make decisions throughout our country on a wide range of issues, such as schools, public transportation, health care, local policing, judges in our courts, and more.
The midterm election holds a major importance, so it’s up to us to register and vote in large numbers to hold elected officials accountable and build a democracy at all levels of government that works best for all of us and the people we serve.
You can take action TODAY by registering to vote or checking your voter registration status.
It’s people like you who will make all the difference this fall—whether that’s by casting a ballot or by organizing your communities to make sure all your neighbors can do the same.
We hope you’ll join us — we only have 100 days left, and they’re going to go fast. So, let’s work together to ensure everyone understands the importance of their voice and the power of their vote.
