🚨 Ohio, you have work to do. Just 23% of your 18-year-olds are registered to vote, and it's one of the lowest rates in the country. The fix starts with high school students and their communities. 🗳️ 🔗 FREE resources: buff.ly/Y0WZKe6 #YouthVote #Politics #Ohio #Election2026 #GOTV

The law is on the voters' side. Federal law — and many state laws — prohibit armed federal agents at polling places, voter intimidation, and election interference. Our new resource explains these protections and the efforts underway to keep elections safe and secure. bit.ly/4yOProg

Preventing Voter Intimidation by Federal Agents at the Polls

Any deployment that intimidates voters or interferes with elections would be illegal. Should one occur, officials and civil society are prepared to challenge illegal acts so that voting can proceed uninterrupted.

"The more students who understand the importance of the right to vote and how to organize their community, the higher turnout can be, and the more likely we will have free and fair elections for all in November." Person to person matters, but each state can do better with teen voter reg.

NEW DATA: only 7% of New Hampshire 18-years are registered to vote. By contrast, in Oregon, Michigan, and Colorado 70+% are registered. That’s 7x as many, and it proves that states have the power to do a better job of consistently welcoming their newest voters. open.substack.com/pub/thecivic...
