While we can’t physically “drive people to the polls”, we can help them get their ballots back! In the remaining, weeks, days, hours all the way up to Election Day on November 8th, we will be working to expand the overseas margin of victory and you can help! Every minute you give will help us keep Congress and increase our Senate majority.

- Be a Voting Champion! Make sure every American in your contacts has sent back their ballots. Here’s a link to the toolkit with sample messages.
- Promote Zoom voter help: Know any Americans with any problems voting? We can help! Trained voting assistance volunteers on Zoom every Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Here the link: https://qrco.de/bbh0zg
