Editing:2020.09.13 early voting i

September 13, 2020 -- If you are receiving this email, you likely live in a state that is starting early voting this week!

Early voting allows voters to go to the polls in advance of Election Day, thereby reducing crowds and ensuring more people have an opportunity to vote. The states that are starting early voting this week are:

Pennsylvania: September 14 to October 27

Minnesota: September 18 to November 2

South Dakota: September 18 to November 2

Wyoming: September 18 to November 2

Virginia: September 18 to October 31

To be clear, early voting is distinct from voting by mail (also known as ‘absentee voting’). Early voting happens at a physical polling place; voting by mail is done remotely, with a ballot that is sent to your place of residence. You can learn more about your state’s rules for voting by mail--including how to request and return your ballot--on this page of our website.

As a reminder, you can check your voter registration today with our free online tool or email gotv@sikhcoalition.org if you have any questions. Additionally, on September 16, the Sikh Coalition will also be hosting a digital conversation with leading Sikh voices in public service, featuring Hoboken, NJ Mayor Ravi Bhalla; Associate Counsel for U.S. Senator Richard J. Durbin (D-IL) Manpreet Kaur Teji; and New Haven Unified School District Elected Trustee Sarabjit Kaur Cheema. Be sure to RSVP today!

As always, the Sikh Coalition urges you to practice your faith fearlessly.

Note: The Sikh Coalition is a non-partisan, non-profit organization. All Get Out The Vote (GOTV) work is being done in support of broader Sikh American civic engagement, and not for the benefit of any candidate, elected official, or political party.
