Vote Early Day is a nonpartisan civic holiday dedicated to raising awareness of early voting opportunities and getting out the early vote. NLIHC’s nonpartisan Our Homes, Our Votes campaign is proud to join thousands of Vote Early Day partners nationwide to empower Americans to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day and make their voices heard. Vote Early Day will take place this Tuesday, October 28.
Long lines at the polls, voter disinformation, and confusing election laws all have a disenfranchising impact that disproportionately affects low-income voters. Early voting gives voters the opportunity to overcome these obstacles and ensure that they can cast their ballots. Millions of Americans have options to vote ahead of Election Day by mail or in person.
Our Homes, Our Votes encourages partners to celebrate Vote Early Day and spread the word about early voting through social media, email communications, phone calls, texts, or in-person voter outreach. Vote Early Day provides a nonprofit toolkit with print-at-home swag, sample social media language and graphics, email templates, voter outreach template messages, and additional tools.
To find your state-specific early voting rules and make a voting plan, use the Our Homes, Our Votes TurboVote platform: ourhomes.turbovote.org/vote-early.
