Make your voice heard on election day

Minnesotans head to the polls in 2022 to vote at the local, state and federal levels. If you’re thinking of sitting this one out, please don’t. At Women’s March MN, it’s our mission to harness the power of all women and their communities to create transformative social change and one way to do that is on election day. This November, our freedom to choose when and if to become a parent or grow our families is on the ballot. Republicans want to take away this freedom. We must use our vote to protect this freedom.

Here are some resources to help you this election:

You can head to your voting place early and cast your vote ahead of election day with an absentee ballot. Here’s what you’ll need to know and bring with you.

In Minnesota, you can register to vote on election day. You can find out how here.

You can locate your polling place ahead of time by entering your zip code here.

And although you may feel passionately about a candidate (and that’s great!) that you want to show your support by wearing campaign gear like a t-shirt or button, we want your vote to count so please remove any campaign items before entering your voting place. Find out more by reading the voting place rules.

Here's another resource to break down who will be on your ballot, their endorsements and so much more.

Something to consider before going to your polling place is understanding the issues that are important to you, at all levels of government. Where do you stand and where do the candidates stand? We invite you to have a conversation with us on Facebook and Twitter about these issues. Tell us what’s important to you.
