Our elections have withstood their greatest challenge to date, but there is more to be done to make sure our democracy continues to fulfill its promise to voters no matter how or where voters choose to cast their ballots. While election officials have long made do with archaic policies and low budgets, it’s time to build more efficient, more resilient elections using time-tested vote at home systems across the country. By giving election officials the resources they need & giving voters the policies they deserve, we can make American elections more: Accessible, Secure, Equitable, Fair, Transparent

Key Guidance
Voting by mail is here to stay because voters have demanded it. Voting by mail was the most popular method of participation for the first time in history.
Strong mail ballot policy allows states and local jurisdictions to meet the needs of voters in efficient and ultimately, cost-effective, ways.
Vote at home systems are both accessible and secure when implemented alongside strong voter-centric policies.

Dear {{FirstName}},
After a historic election in 2020, our friends at the National Vote at Home Institute have released a set of policy recommendations for states to ensure that voters can continue to vote the way they want to.
Read more about their policy recommendations here.
Despite record disinformation attempting to confuse voters, Americans showed up in record numbers. This was in no small part because election officials across the country stepped up to serve their communities in unprecedented circumstances. Now we have a clear path forward that will guide us to make our elections more transparent and accessible.
Some of the National Vote At Home Institute’s policy recommendations include:
No-excuse absentee ballots
Ballot tracking
Pre-paid postage on ballots
Allowing election officials to process ballots in advance of election day
Clear timelines for voters to return ballots
Read more about these policies on the National Vote at Home Website.
As states begin to reform election policies, legislators must adopt best practices that we know work. In 2021, let’s work together and put voters first.
