- Share the link with your audience.
- Set up a computer in your lobby on Election Day to allow voters to check their voting information.
Early Voting Opportunities
Early voting was suspended in Maryland and the District of Columbia on Monday due to Hurricane Sandy. Most polling places are expected to be up and running on Election Day, but there could be residual issues as a result of the storm. In Virginia, the board of elections has decided to allow people to cite Hurricane Sandy as a reason they need to vote early. Help your community vote early with:
- Nonprofit VOTE’s 50 state map.
- Long Distance Voter’s guide to early voting.
