With the presidential race heating up, be sure you’re registered to vote with VotePlz. After you scan the barcode on your license or type in your information manually, VotePlz will tell you whether you’re already registered to vote. If you’re not registered, you can choose to register online or by mail. Note that some states don’t support online voter registration. If you choose to register online, you can fill out and submit your state’s registration form right in the app. If you choose to vote by mail, VotePlz will create the form based on the information you already provided and let you download a PDF or have it delivered by mail for free. Once you’re registered, you can request an absentee ballot if your state allows it.
VotePlz also has several other helpful guides:
- How to vote for first-timers
- An explanation of the down-ballot
- A list of your voting rights
Finally, you can share this app on Twitter, Facebook, text message, email, etc. Sharing earns you points on a leaderboard and enters you in a sweepstakes. You get 25 points for every person who checks their registration via your referral link and you get 10 points for every friend your friends invite.
