You can register to vote within your state by contacting its board of elections. Some states make it hard to register to vote, but If you go to vote.gov it will direct you to your state’s register to vote page. Another helpful website is iwillvote.com, it will help you get to the right site and/or forms to download to register. (If asked for your email address you can use a burner email address to avoid any spam risk).
If you have already registered to vote, please double check with your state board of elections, vote.gov, or iwillvote.com to make sure that you have not been purged from voter rolls, as some states have been removing legally registered voters without informing them.
Have a plan in place for how you will cast your vote.
If you’re absentee voting, send that ballot as soon as you can because USPS has been compromised. Consider submitting the ballot into a ballot box if there’s one near you, that way you can skip USPS. You can send it in via priority mail for about $3, that will get it there quickly, but be very careful addressing the envelope.
If you’re voting in person, you may need to wait on line for hours. Bring identification if required. Bring supplies like a mask, hand sanitizer, a folding chair, snacks, a beverage, a book, etc. If you are turned away for any reason insist upon filling in a contingency ballot. Your vote should count.
Voter intimidation has been a problem in some places.
