When Americans vote early, they ensure that last minute problems will not prevent them from casting their ballots -- and help shorten voting lines on Election Day for everyone. But voting early rules - both for in-person and by-mail options - vary widely all over the country, causing confusion and preventing voters from casting their ballots.

Vote Early Day is a collaboration among media companies, nonprofits, technology platforms, election administrators, influencers, and other businesses to help all eligible voters learn about their early voting options and celebrate the act of voting early. This collaborative, open-source model - similar to Giving Tuesday and National Voter Registration Day - will ensure that millions more Americans take advantage of their early voting options!
