We are 154 days away from the Midterm Elections
The Midterm Elections will be here in no time. We are talking to partners and colleagues about some specific actions to help protect and promote the vote. We will send more details as soon as we can. For now, we’re asking you start the Get Out the Vote conversation with everyone you know. Every vote counts and it turns out the messenger is more important than the message.
In the meantime, we are sharing some voting tips that will ensure that you are the messenger with the knowledge your people need! (All of this comes from the MN Secretary of State.)
Who can vote? Yes, if you are:
