We’re just a few days away from the 2024 presidential election and voting matters more than ever.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are running against each other on the ballot this year. But that’s not all. States are also voting on important issues like reproductive rights. In almost a dozen states, including Florida, Maryland, Montana, New York, and South Dakota, legislators have approved abortion-related ballot measures.

Feeling confused? Don’t know where to start? Is this your first time voting? No problem. We’re giving you a Muze-approved voting guide packed with resources so you can flex your greatest super poder this election cycle—voting!

Make sure you’re registered to vote

The first and most important aspect of voting is checking your registration status. Without voter registration you won’t be able to cast your vote. Every state has a different deadline, so check with your individual states on what their rules and dates are. For some states you can register on Election Day if you show up in person. Visit vote.gov for information on how to register.

Check your state’s voting options

We know in-person voting can sometimes be difficult, but don’t worry, you’ve got options! Absentee, mail-in or early voting may be available in your state. You can check what’s available to you here.

Do your research on candidates and what’s on the ballot

This election is not just for the presidency. Several other issues are being addressed on the ballot, so doing research can be helpful when filling out your forms. Organizations like vote411.org can provide personalized candidate and ballot information if requested.

Get your voting materials ready

Before you head to the polls or send in your absentee ballot, make sure you’ve got everything you need. If you’re leaning toward an absentee ballot, make sure you order yours and send it before the deadline. Also, familiarize yourself with your state’s voter ID laws, and find your polling place.

Cast your vote and encourage others to do the same!

Once you have everything together, then go ahead and cast your ballot. Make sure you also share you voted and encourage others to do the same.
