2/ This election will be one of the most important elections in history. Plan accordingly to avoid COVID-19 delays and make sure your vote gets counted.

3/ Given the USPS delays, we encourage whoever is voting by mail to register and send in your ballots immediately so the delays don’t halt the chances of getting your vote counted. The sooner everyone votes this year, the better it will be.

4/ It is important to find out what each state’s requirements are. Some states’ post offices will only accept mail-in or absentee ballots if they’re received or postmarked by the election date.

5/ If you wait until the day of the election, there’s a possibility that your ballots won’t be counted. Be sure to have your ballots in at least 2 weeks in advance or ASAP if you’re planning to vote by mail. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/politics/postmarks-mail-in-ballots/index.html
