Additional Resources:
No one should have to choose between staying safe and exercising their right to vote. With the upcoming election on November 3rd, many important local, state and federal decisions will be made by eligible voters across the country. The impact of COVID-19 on voter accessibility during this election has spurred many organizations and communities into action to help make sure older adults have the information they need to vote safely and securely. Join us on October 20th from 12:00 to 1:30pm to hear from organizations and communities from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont share how they connected with older people in their area to communicate the information they need to exercise their right to vote.
