Union members know better than anyone how important it is to exercise our right to vote and make our voices heard at the ballot box. It’s the heart of our democratic process—and our labor movement’s, too.

This election year, it will be crucial to have a say in where this nation is headed. Members of Congress directly decide whether federal workers have a contract, a job, and a voice at work – and they are the only elected officials charged with overseeing how our government is managed and holding rouge actors to account.

That's why we need every vote to send leaders to Washington who will advocate for federal and D.C. government workers and all working people who make this country run, not the greedy CEOs and billionaires who take all the profits and look to privatize government services. With relentless efforts on the rise to make it harder for working people to vote, we have to be more ready and more organized than ever.

That’s why we’re joining with unions across the country to celebrate National Voter Registration Day—the single largest voter registration day in the nation. It’s a day to make sure your family, co-workers, neighbors and friends are ready and registered to vote!

Did you know voter registration deadlines are approaching in many states over the next few weeks? Some states even have deadlines in the first week of October.

Will you take a moment to check your voter registration status?

After you fill out the form, you’ll see voting dates and deadlines for your state—be sure to write them down or take a screenshot!

It’s really important to check your voter status early, so you don’t miss any registration deadlines or encounter surprises when you go to vote.

Thank you for getting ready to vote in November! Our vote is our voice, and we’ll need every voice to take back our country from the billionaires and CEOs and make it work for working people.

In Solidarity,

AFGE
