Resources for Voters

Here are some tools and some information that you may find helpful to better prepare yourself to vote, and ensure you are making well informed decisions about who you're voting for and when.

Below are some categories that might help you figure out where you are in the process.

Preparing to Vote

Voter Guides provide information about a candidate running for office. They include information such as political party affiliation, education and work history, where they stand on certain issues/ topics and past voting history.

Here are some voter guides that you can use to learn about the candidates to decide who you want to vote for.

Helping Voters

Sometimes there are people at polling sites that try to stop others from voting, or they make the process harder and more confusing in an effort to deter people from voting.

If anyone is giving you a hard time, harasses you at the polls, prevents you from voting or says you cannot vote, contact the Election Protection Hotline.

Learn About Voting, Civics & Government

Do you have questions about voting or the process leading up to it? Don’t be embarrassed, many people do and it’s because school doesn’t properly teach us and people purposefully make the voting process confusing. In the age of misinformation, it’s not always easy to find reliable, accurate and unbiased information that is up to date with any recent changes. 

If you have questions, you have a few options on who you can contact to get them answered:

1. Your state's Board/ Office of Elections or the Secretary of State's Office. 

2. Your county's Board/ Office of Elections.

3. Ask the U.S. Vote Foundation

Reminders

If you don't want to pre-register to vote or are unable to do so, you can sign up to get reminded to register to vote on your 18th birthday. Fill out the form below, that's curtsey of Vote.org, so you can get your reminder to register to vote. 

Voting Rights

Depending on where you live, you may lose your right to vote after being found guilty of certain crimes. In some states, you can get these rights back, but there is a process to complete in order for you to do so. You may be able to vote while in prison, but this depends on the state you live in.
