Taking Action: How You Can Make A Difference – Part 3

As part of our ongoing series to help you get more involved in advocacy, we’re breaking things down into four simple steps.

In March, we started with Step 1: Find Your Elected Officials—because knowing who represents you is the foundation of civic engagement.

Last Month, we continued with Step 2: Contact Your Elected Officials – because reaching out to your representatives is one of the most direct ways to get involved.

This month, we’re moving on to Step 3: Check Your Voting Status.

Even if you think you’re registered and ready, it’s always a good idea to double-check. Laws change, deadlines move, and errors can happen—so taking just a few minutes now can save you stress later. Your vote is your power, and protecting it starts with knowing your status.

Here are three important things to know when checking your voting status:

Make sure your registration is current.
Your name, address, and party affiliation must be up-to-date—especially if you’ve moved, changed your name, or want to vote in a primary.
Know your deadlines.
Every state has different deadlines to register, update your information, or request a vote-by-mail ballot. Check your local election office or visit vote411 to check your registration status.
Look out for changes.
Election laws can change from year to year. Make it a habit to confirm your voting status before every election, even if nothing has changed on your end.

We hope these tips help you feel more confident and prepared. Your opinion truly matters, and every action makes a difference.
