Call To Action! Save Our Democracy! - Fundraising Links to GOTV




64 days until Midterm Election Day!

September 6 (Tomorrow):
Massachusetts primaries

September 7 (Wednesday):
New Hampshire: primaries registration deadline
President Biden unveils President Obama portrait at the White House

September 13 (next Tuesday):
Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island primaries
Primary season ends (except Louisiana)

Begin General Election Season

IMPORTANT: it’s crucial that everyone read well ahead on these dates, as there are many “received-by” dates that could be missed if one waits until the last minute. For example, in Louisiana the absentee ballot request deadline is only 3 days before the absentee ballot deadline, so one has to mail something in TWICE in the last week before Election Day. I would advise starting the process at least two weeks before the deadlines. Remember, we’re dealing with DeJoy’s postal system!

September 23:
Minnesota, Wyoming: in-person absentee voting begins
South Dakota: in-person absentee voting begins (dates and times vary by location; call your local elections office)

September 24:
Louisiana, Vermont: in-person absentee voting begins

September 27:
Missouri: in-person absentee voting begins

September 29:
Illinois: early voting available at Election Authority Office
New Hampshire: “Voter registration deadlines vary by locality. Contact your Town Clerk.”
North Dakota: “Early voting dates vary by county. Contact your local elections office.”
Pennsylvania: “In-person absentee voting available. Contact your local elections office for dates and times.”
Virginia: “In-person absentee voting available. Contact your local elections office for dates and times.”

October 7:
Alaska, Rhode Island: voter registration deadline
South Carolina: voter registration deadline (in person only)

October 8:
Mississippi: voter registration deadline – postmarked by this date

October 10:
Mississippi: voter registration deadline (in-person only)
California: early voting begins

October 11:
Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas: voter registration deadline (includes received-by dates in many states, so best to mail this in well in advance!)
Maine, New Mexico: early voting begins
Montana, Nebraska: in-person absentee voting begins

October 12:

I’m posting links to GOTV efforts for the 2022 election because our democracy depends on it! As Steve Schmidt wrote, “This is no longer a political fight. It is an existential threat to the future of our democracy.”

You can help. Click on the links and donate to help the GOTV cause.

I will be posting this every day, likely until Election Day. I may add more links as time goes on, but so far most fundraising links for Democratic GOTV in general lead to the ones I post below.

We gotta do this.

If you can't donate, at least give this a K&R!


Progressive Turnout Project is the largest voter contact organization in the country, specifically dedicated to mobilizing the Democratic Party and defending democracy.
