Preparing for Election Day on November 3

Can you still early vote? How do you find your polling location? What you need to know before heading to the polls.

Friendly reminder that when looking at polls, the margin of error matters. A lot. If a poll shows your candidate winning by one percentage point with a three percent margin of error, that's not a true lead. If they lose by two percent, the poll wasn't wrong. #CivicMinded #VotesofConfidence #midterms

With #midterms on Tuesday, reminder that #CivicMinded explains many of the policy issues at stake for a young adult audience. Kirkus says: "Clear and stripped of partisan hyperbole; every American can benefit from this book" #election2026 www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Just one week until #midterms. Make sure you have a voting plan. #VoteEarly if you can, but make sure you know where to #vote. #Election2026 #VotesofConfidence #CivicMinded www.vote.org/polling-plac...
