投票!!

确保你已经登记投票了.

If you’re a first-time voter or have moved to a new state since the last time you voted, 你需要注册. 如果你改了名字, moved within your state or want to change your party affiliation, you must update your registration or re-register in your new county. 即使你以前投过票，没有改变, you should still check that your registration is current.

计划你的投票方式:邮寄, in person during early voting if your state offers it or on Election Day.

Voting procedures in your area may have changed because of the pandemic, so be aware of your options and make a voting plan now. If you decide to vote 通过邮件, apply for your ballot early. A handful of states automatically mail all voters a ballot, but in most of the U.S.，你需要申请一个. In some states you can submit your request up until a few days before the election, 但这并不意味着你应该这么做. 也不要拖延你的选票. 

If you’re voting 通过邮件, read the instructions carefully.

在你填充任何气泡之前, carefully read the instructions that come with your ballot and follow them to a T. 比如用错颜色的笔, putting marks in the wrong place or forgetting to sign the outside of the return envelope could mean your vote isn’t counted. Don’t try to fix a ballot with tape or correction fluid if you mess up, 不要羞于寻求帮助. If you have a question or need a replacement ballot, call your local election office.

跟踪你的选票. 

在很多州, you can track your mail-in ballot online to confirm it’s en route to you and has been received by your election office and accepted. 查看你所在州的选举网站了解详情. 如果在线跟踪不可用, you can call your local election office to ask about the status of your ballot.

检查你所在州的身份证要求.

Some states require ID to vote, but the acceptable forms may be broader than you expect. If you vote in person and don’t have the required ID when you go to the poll, you may need to cast a provisional ballot and return later to show ID before your vote is counted.

Ask for help if you need information, and report any problems you encounter.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to your local election officials if you have questions. You can look up their phone numbers and email addresses 在这里. If you run into any issues at the polls during early voting or on Election Day, 向投票站工作人员求助.

制定备用计划. 如果你的缺席选票没有及时到达怎么办? What if you need to quarantine during early voting or you wake up with coronavirus symptoms on Election Day? Preparing a backup plan may help set your mind at ease in unpredictable times.
