Election Protection

Hands Off Our Vote!

We know that Trump and the GOP are afraid of losing the House and Senate due to their unpopular policies. They’ve already tried to end mail-in voting, target voter registration programs, block vote-counting after election day and more. We know they’ll keep trying to rig what should be free and democratic midterms. The threats are real. But we have tremendous power to push back.

FIRST! We help Dems win big! The bigger we win, the harder it will be for the regime to deny the results. Therefore, the first step in protecting the elections is to drive HUGE voter turnout amongst Democratic leaning voters. Here’s how:

  • Prepare yourself and everyone you know to vote. Vote.org has easy to use tools to 1) check voter registration status, 2) register, 3) learn every state’s rules on early voting, mail voting, etc. 4) find polling places, and much more. 
  • Vote early in person and tell everyone you know to do the same.  Find your state’s rules, deadlines and procedures at Vote.org.
  • Get Out The Vote (GOTV) in target races across the country by writing postcards.  Write postcards with friends every Wednesday from 10:00 – 12:00 at Preservation Hall in Wellfleet. 
  • GOTV by phone banking for target races across the country with Swing Left’s Ground Truth program.  Ground Truth’s method to phone banking is new, different and better than traditional phone banking, designed for respectful and productive conversations that build relationships and trust. Sign up for a phonebank here. 
  • Canvass in person in nearby states!
    • Maine!  Help Troy Jackson beat Susan Collins!  Sign up here.
    • New Hampshire!  Keep the open Senate seat in New Hampshire Blue! Here is information about canvassing in NH.  If you’re interested, please complete this Google form, and the organizers will be in touch.
  • GOTV by having meaningful conversations with voters from all backgrounds either in person or by phone from anywhere with Swing Left’s Ground Truth program.  These are open ended conversations designed to build relationships and trust.  Find a canvass here and/or sign up for a phonebank here. 
  • Donate to Swing Left’s Balance of Power Fund:  This fund supports Democrats in the elections that will determine the national balance of power—all with a single donation.  A mix of must-win U.S. House, Senate, and gubernatorial races across the country, this is a high impact donation!  Read more about Swing Left’s strategy here.  
  • Donate to Black Voters Matter Fund:  To build Black political power by strengthening local organizations, expanding civic engagement, building cross-community coalitions, and advancing policies that protect and empower Black communities.
  • Donate to Movement Voter Project:  To fund local organizing in every swingable Senate, House, and downballot race — to build the biggest Blue Wave possible.
  • Spread the word about and donate to Voteriders.org, a free resource to help voters get to the polls.

And – Take Direct Actions to Protect Elections:

Be a poll worker and encourage your family and friends to do so as well.  Learn more at Powerthepolls.org. 

Volunteer with VoProPros.com.  This is the friendliest phonebanking you’ll ever do.  You’ll notify people who have been dropped from voter rolls, help them register, contact them if their ballot has been rejected and help them “cure” their ballot, among many other things to help people access their right to vote. Learn more about the two ways to get involved here.

Sign up with Indivisible’s Hands Off Our Vote. You’ll be notified of key voting deadlines in your state, get updates on any threats to your voting rights and learn how to counter them, and play an important role in rapid response moments whenever and wherever the regime tries to pull dirty tricks.

If you live in or have friends or family in Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, join or encourage your friends and family to join Indivisible’s Election Protection Corps. This is a grassroots network of volunteers dedicated to protecting the right to vote before, during, and after the 2026 election in the states where the threat of sabotage is highest.

Donate to the ACLU:  To fund strategic litigation, advocacy, and organizing needed to take on voter suppression and gerrymandering and promote access to the ballot.  Donate here. 

Be prepared to mobilize peacefully if necessary. Stay tuned to our newsletter and notifications from Hands Off Our Vote in the event we need to respond in key moments, from ballot curing phone banks to mass mobilization if needed.  Sign up here for our newsletter if you’re not already getting it.
