There’s less than 50 days left until #Election2020 🗓️. In other words, you’re running out of time ⏳ to request your absentee ballot 🗳️ . Confused? You’re not alone. But worry not, we’re here to help! #MVP2020
🗳️ Check your local Supervisor of Elections website to (a) see if you’re eligible to vote absentee and (b) find out the deadline to request your ballot. ⚠️ HEADS UP ⚠️ EVERY STATE HAS DIFFERENT DEADLINES FOR REQUESTING BALLOTS ONLINE AND BY MAIL.
🗳️ 🗳️ Once you’ve requested and received your ballot, it’s time to vote 🗳️! Different states have different witness, notary, ID, and signature requirements for absentee ballots. Make sure you’ve fulfilled every requirement before you return your completed ballot.
After you vote, you need to return your ballot. Depending on where you live, you can do this by mail, or by dropping it off at your local elections office or ballot drop box.
In some states, you can track your ballot’s journey after you return it to ensure it gets counted. Find out if your state offers a ballot tracking service with this map from @NBCNews. nbcnews.com/specials/plan-…
If you take one thing away from this thread 🧵, let it be this: every state is different! So, always make sure you’re getting information about elections directly from the state you vote in.
