Voting for your rights, freedoms and liberties

It’s election season. Are you registered to vote?

Hope is a muscle. And there’s hope in voting—in taking direct action to create the community you want to live and work in, where you want to put down roots and curate a life full of joy. By voting, you are making this muscle stronger and more formidable. While much attention is on the presidential race, Nebraska voters have the power to impact many decisions this General Election with several candidates and issues on the ballot locally.

YOU have the power to determine who makes the laws in Nebraska, who sets the policies for our schools and who shapes the future of our communities. With several ballot initiatives in play, it’s also your chance to engage in direct democracy on issues such as your right to have control over your own body, your ability to earn and use paid sick leave, and a chance to build on Nebraska’s long history of strong support for public schools.

Are you ready to vote like your rights depend on it? Because they do!

If you haven’t already, register to vote today. You can also request for an early ballot and get informed on every candidate running for office. Vote411.org is a non-partisan, easy-to-use tool to find what’s on your ballot and what candidates have to say about the issues that matter most to you.

Voting is one tool in our democracy to impact change. What type of community do you want to live in? What freedoms matter to you? Vote on or before November 5 to protect your rights and ensure your voice is counted.
