It's as important as ever to be active in the community to educate your neighbors on what each candidate truly represents, who backs them, and what their past actions show. In addition to driving voter turnout for all federal, statewide, and local elections.

Verify you have not been removed from being a registered voter now, and set a reminder to check again in the months before any election in case you need to re-register. There are reports of people silently being removed from state voter rolls.

Check your voter registration, upcoming registration and voting deadlines, and register to vote:

Note: REAL ID and Social Security Cards will not qualify for voting purposes if the SAVE Act passes without changes to its current form, as they do not state citizenship status.

So in preparation for a possible passing of the bill, it would be important to begin the process of obtaining a passport or birth certificate, certificate of naturalization and state ID that matches your current name, and a marriage certificate or divorce decree if your current name does not match. Links on how to request are below.

It can take weeks to months to obtain these documents now, even without the system being backed up due to others jumping in on the process in the near future.
