The general election is exactly two months away. Read this thread for some tips on how to prepare to cast your vote on November 3rd. #ElectionTwitter #vote #Vote2020 
First, make sure you are registered to vote. You can check your registration status at vote.org. If you're not registered but think you are eligible, check your state election website for steps on how to register.
Once you're registered, you need to decide how you will vote. There are two ways to cast your vote: in-person at a polling place or with a mail-in ballot. Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, more Americans than usual plan to vote by mail.
If you plan to use a mail-in ballot, it is important to research how your state plans to handle its vote-by-mail system. Without the correct information, you may miss important deadlines and lose the opportunity to cast a vote.
Information on your state's voting system will be available on its election website. It is best to do your research now to leave ample time to send and receive important documents by mail.
If you plan to vote in-person, find out where your polling place will be. Plan to make arrangements with work or childcare to give yourself a window of time to stand in line at the polls.
If you can't vote on Election Day, find out when early voting will occur. Lines are usually shorter during this period, so voting takes less time. Again, this information will be on your state election website.
And, of course, make sure you research the candidates ahead of time. Figure out which platforms you support and who you feel will be best for each position.
Remember: there are many offices up for election this November. Aside from the presidential race, congressional races and state and local elections are happening, and those outcomes will affect your community too. Research all candidates on your ballot.
ballotready.org and whoseontheballot.org are both websites that can help you learn more information about candidates. Most candidates will have campaign websites that list their platforms and beliefs as well.
Democracy depends on free and fair elections, and those elections depend on voters like you. Get informed and get out to vote this November! #Vote2020 #VoteByMail #ElectionDay #2020Election
