Election season is underway! And the November Presidential Election will be here before you know it.  Many voted using a vote-by-mail ballot over the last couple elections due to the pandemic, but in-person voting remains an important option for upcoming elections this year. Many states expanded in-person voting options for 2024 and beyond.

Whether you vote in-person during your state’s early voting period or on Election Day - Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024, it’s important to get informed about your rights and responsibilities well before the big day. Voters in most states also have the option of voting by absentee or mail-in ballot.

We’re in the thick of the 2024 election season! That’s when you get the chance to cast your ballot for President, Vice President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and countless state and local level offices and ballot measures - this November 5, 2024.

Voting requires forethought and planning, and for justice-impacted voters, it may require even more planning. If you have been convicted of a crime, or you are or were recently incarcerated, then you’ll need to do some extra research before registering to vote and casting a ballot following the restoration of your civil rights.

If you’re like most Americans, you’re seriously considering voting by absentee ballot.

Absentee voting, whether you live in the U.S. or are one of the millions of overseas voters, offers you the convenience of selecting candidates for office at the time of your choosing: after work, around the table with your family, or from your couch. No need to wait in line, and no time limits (as you might experience on Election Day or during early voting) as long as you mail in or place your voted ballot in a drop box by the deadline.

But then - you may wonder, "where's my ballot"? Almost all states have some form of ballot tracking. There are a couple that don’t have state-wide ballot tracking, but they may still offer ballot tracking at the county level.
