The Vote Early Day Impact

Vote Early Day is a nonpartisan movement of thousands of media companies, businesses, nonprofits, election administrators, and creatives working to ensure all Americans have the tools to vote early. This holiday is a tentpole moment for partners of all stripes to engage with voters and urge them to cast their ballots early.

The 2022 elections will feature high-profile contests in every neighborhood across the nation, with voters deciding who will control Congress, governors’ mansions, and other important offices up and down the ballot. Under the bright lights of the 2020 presidential election, over 100 million Americans voted early—more than 2016 and 2018 combined. With your help, we make this move toward voting early the trend rather than just a momentary blip of civic engagement.

Vote Early Day is a central moment for a wide range of partners (many non-traditional to the civic space) to engage with voters and urge them to vote early. Our collaboration of diverse partners allows us to engage in places beyond where voters are used to seeing election messages. This allows us to break through the noise and meet voters where they are.

Where You Come In

As a Vote Early Day influencer/ambassador, we need your help to let Americans know how voting early is simple and helps voters overcome barriers to casting a ballot. We have all the tools ready to help Americans cast their ballot ahead of Election Day, and now all we need are leaders like you to amplify our message. You are a trusted source of information for your audience, and your participation on Vote Early Day can make all the difference in your fans making their voices heard this fall!
