Voting Rights and the 2020 Election
Democracy depends on ensuring that every voter has an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot, free from restrictions that have a discriminatory impact. There is, perhaps, no more fundamental right in a democracy than the vote.
We want you to have all the information you need to vote. Whether you live in Colorado, New Mexico or Wyoming, we have compiled some helpful resources.
Make Sure You’re Ready to Vote!
If you’re looking for information on registering to vote, where to cast your ballot in person, how to return your mail ballot, how to request an absentee ballot, or what changes your state has implemented in response to COVID-19, we’re here to help.
You can use the new interactive ADL Voting Rights tool to answer all of those questions; just enter a few basic details to be prepared to vote for the candidates and issues of your choice in 2020.
In this unusual year, you may have other questions, so please visit our voting rights resource page if you’re wondering about:
- What’s different about voting during the pandemic
- Whether you can bring your children with you if you’re voting in person
- How to cast your vote if you’re a student, even if you are at a school in a different state than your residence
- Ways to get involved, whether as a poll worker or a volunteer election protection monitor (either in person or remotely)
No matter which candidates and which parties you support, ADL is speaking out to protect your rights and we want to help you make your plan to vote.
