Feeling terrible because you missed your #deadline to #register or request your #ballot?

You can still MAKE A DIFFERENCE by reaching out to at least two friends or family members, either abroad or stateside, and telling them how important this election is!

Talk to them and make sure they VOTE!

Then you'll feel better, knowing you helped ensure a victory for #HarrisWalz2024 and to #FflipTheHouseBlue and #KeepTheSenate!
