🚨 32 Days Until Election Day! 🚨 Election Calendar, Activists' Lists, and Donation Links (updated daily)

ALERT! Just 1 day until states begin closing voter registration – so let’s go out and register voters!

Early Voting is going on TODAY in several states! Other states soon to follow! Check the calendar below to see when early voting begins in your state!

Also – if anything is done by mail, be sure to mail things in WELL IN ADVANCE. I personally would recommend at least 10 days, especially for submitting absentee ballots. Remember, we’re still dealing with DeJoy’s postal system!

I'll be updating this list daily until General Election Day, including links and other info.

Please let me know if there are any broken links, or incorrect or incomplete information, and I will make the necessary corrections.

Oh, and also feel free to copy & paste all this info onto other platforms, your Facebook, social media, etc.

For voting information, activists' lists, and donation links, scroll down below the Election Calendar

Voting Information, Including Voter Registration

Register to vote now!

Your local county Democratic Headquarters probably has voter registration forms, or can tell you how to get them. City halls, public libraries, fire stations, and police stations often have registration forms. Give 'em a call.

The Harris-Walz campaign says: "Don't forget get to check the expiry dates of all your voting Ids."

MineralMan says: make sure you have a current passport or other proof of citizenship prepared, just in case it's required for you to vote! "Get a marriage certificate, too, if you are a woman and changed your surname after you got married." If you're a woman who married more than once, you need official copies of all marriage and divorce (or death) certificates.

Donation Links

Before you donate, beware of obscure sites that claim to be for Democrats, but never reveal where your money really goes. Your money could be just used to line their pockets, donated to something totally irrelevant, or even donated to TRUMP! See this thread:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219259896

Some reputable sites (but be sure to read all the caveats, below):

Donate to Harris For President fund!
https://kamalaharris.com/

ActBlue is a nonprofit organization that builds tools Democrats count on to run their own small-dollar fundraising programs.
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/introducingactblueexpress

A caveat about ActBlue, to paraphrase DFW:
"I send checks rather than go through ActBlue, because then the amount actually donated will be greater. Note that the credit card companies keep a big chunk of what's donated via ActBlue. When you send a check instead, the candidates keep 100% of the donation. In tight races where every cent of the campaign budgets count, that margin could matter."

"Not all of our candidates will win. A losing candidate is still responsible for campaign debts. I doubt ActBlue or Mastercard will offer to help out."

BumRushDaShow says: “Some of the ActBlue sites are setup for PayPal or equivalent. If you donate that way, you won’t invoke the fee that the credit cards would take out of your donation.”

Staph says: “I use PayPal, linked to my checking account. No credit card involved. I still choose to pay ActBlue a tip, but I can make it smaller while still giving ActBlue some operating funds. Your mileage may vary.”

Hermit-The-Prog says this about the cut that goes to ActBlue:
“When you give on ActBlue, there’s a 3.95% fee we pass on to the group you supported to cover processing costs. Completing a contribution involves costs related to processing your credit card. We’re legally required to pass along processing costs to the campaign so that we do not make in-kind contributions to them. As a nonprofit, we use tips from donors to pay our bills.”

Want to help Democrats from home, no matter where you live? Send postcards! (Info and links below)

DUer Coexist says: "Part of the suggested wording for the postcards is: 'That you voted is public record. Who you voted for is private.'" This is to reassure voters who may be living with MAGAts.

Postcards to Swing States needs your help!
Research proves that writing postcards will add more than 130,000 votes, which is three times the number that decided the outcome of the 2020 election in favor of President Biden. Help if you can! Spread the word!

Some great online resources, courtesy Attilatheblond:
"Indivisible dot Org"
"I suggest looking for state and local groups of 'Indivisible' on Facebook. Good people at many levels, all providing info and giving us FB pages to share info and encouragement. If your community does not have an Indivisible group, contact the parent group about how to form one!"
https://indivisible.org/

"My local FB 'Indivisible' pal posted a new private Facebook group for activists:
Rural Indivisibles Caucus Group. It’s for rural Indivisible leaders to share ideas, questions, and best practices for activism and engagement. Private (only members can see who's in the group and what they post). Visible (anyone can find this group).”

“If you are turned away at the polls because your name is not on the register, don’t walk away. Say this: ‘I REQUEST A PROVISIONAL BALLOT AS REQUIRED BY LAW.’ Don’t let them steal your vote.”

Here's a good quote by Cyrano:

"Join us. Knock on doors. Volunteer to make calls, or work at the polls. Convince anyone you know who can be convinced."

To quote new DUer Climate Crusader,

"When we work, we win. Get out the Vote efforts. Volunteer to make calls, give rides to the polls, get friends and family out, become a poll watcher.

When you vote we get a vote, but when you volunteer, you multiply that vote!!!"

Harris/Walz 2024!
