HERE ARE THE 4 STEPS

STEP ONE

Know Who’s On Your Ballot

Election Day is November 3, 2026. Visit Vote411.org to register to vote and find out who is on your ballot and running to represent you.

STEP TWO

ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS

Start with yourself: what keeps you up at night? Voting rights? Housing? Education? Health care? The cost of groceries? Get specific. The more specific you are, the harder it is for leaders to dodge you.

See the America 250: A Guide for Defending Democracy for questions to ask your candidates and elected officials.

STEP THREE

DEMAND ANSWERS

Now that you have your questions, bring them to your officials:

Tag them on social media in a post or story
Call their office or send an email
Show up to a community meeting or town hall

Make them answer. Make them go on record.

STEP FOUR

SHARE AND TAKE ACTION

Talk to your community about what you’ve learned. Vote, and bring someone with you. The people in office are banking on your silence. Don't give it to them.
