get out the vote (GOTV)
One of the best ways to get your voice heard is to cast a ballot! Voting for or against candidates provides accountability for our elected officials and allows us to choose who will represent us in the policy decisions that impact our lives. There are 3 ways to vote in an election - absentee voting, advance voting, and voting on election day.
