Voting early gives us the power to make our voices heard on our own terms, before Election Day and before anyone else gets to decide what happens next. But making a plan takes more than intention. It takes information and resources. That's why we are participating in No Kings: Vote Early, a nationwide day of action.
On October 17, you will have the opportunity to join others from your ward to vote early.
Ward Teams are hosting early voting event across DC on October 17 to encourage more of us to make a plan and vote early and to celebrate the power we have as voters. Join our teams at any of the events this day across the District.
