September 9, 2024
The FAQ-style toolkit to help you feel confident leading up to Election Day.
The 2024 election will be, yet again, the most consequential election of our lives.
Women’s health and voting rights are inextricably linked. Our votes can save lives, restore bodily autonomy, and transform the country into a place where women and people assigned female at birth are full citizens again. As part of our #4Her2024 Get Out the Vote campaign, the NWHN, Sarah Epperson, and NOISE FOR NOW bring you this exclusive T-shirt so that you can proudly identify as a women’s health voter. 90% of the proceeds go right back to the NWHN’s work. Preorder today.
VOTER TIP OF THE WEEK
I won’t be in town on Election Day. What are my options?
– Depending on your state, you might be eligible to submit an absentee ballot, vote by mail, or vote early.
– Absentee voting: States that use absentee voting require the voter to request a ballot to be sent to them.
– By-mail voting: States that use a vote-by-mail system automatically send ballots out via mail to all registered voters without the voter having to ask for it.
– Visit Vote411 and select your state from the dropdown menu to see if your state offers absentee or vote by mail options.
– Early in-person voting: Some states allow you to vote in person 15 to 30 days before election day.
– Check vote.org to see if this is an option your state offers.
