Election Dates and Deadlines
Tomorrow, July 5, will be the last opportunity to register to vote if you want to participate in August’s primary elections. In many districts, this is often your best chance to decide what kind of leaders we’ll have after the 2022 midterms, so make sure you’re registered to vote today! Critically, if you’re registered as an independent, you can still vote in the primaries by requesting a ballot for the party primary of your choice.
