Voter turnout on tribal lands is 11% lower than in other areas. Why? Inaccessible polling places & unreliable mail services make voting hard for Native Americans. Mobile voting can fix this. Let’s bring accessible elections to ALL Americans. Chelsea Jones via Brennan Center for Justice at https://lnkd.in/gyyfW7hn. #VotingRights #NativeVoices

Last week’s DNC made clear that diverse swaths of Democrats (and even some Republicans) are enthusiastically all-in on Kamala Harris. Nowhere is this more apparent, it seems, than among young people. A recent Monmouth poll showed that Harris was viewed favorably by 51% of voters under the age of 35, compared to Biden at 32% and Trump at 33%. Younger voters want younger candidates they can relate to and better understand the issues they face. But even if young voters turn out in November, will they turnout in their next local race? For a state legislative primary? Recent results says no. For example, in the Chicago mayoral runoff in 2023, turnout among voters under 30 was about 4%. 4%! While the president seems really important, the reality is that the mayor of your city has a much bigger impact on your day to day life. If being able to pick their next mayor, their next governor, their next state senator only required young people to securely download an app and make their selection online, a lot more of them would do it. What does that mean? It means younger voters become much more important and their priorities become the priorities of their elected representatives. It means better choices for a better future. The simple switch from Biden to Harris alone made this election far more engaging to millions of younger voters. But if we change the way we vote itself from analog to digital, we can make every election — elections for city council and state representative and congress — equally engaging and make sure young voices are heard.

This past weekend I supported the Florida for Mobile Voting team as they held demonstrations of the latest developments in end-to-end verifiable internet voting for attendees at the City of Miami Gardens Juneteenth Celebration. With hurricane season growing more intense each year, voters will soon need access to mobile voting so that they can make their voices heard in an emergency. During this event Attendees we’re able to see first hand that the future of voting is mobile! Big thank you to Vice Mayor Katrina Wilson for putting on an amazing event!

"If you can't cast a ballot and have that ballot be counted, you're disenfranchised. Climate change disenfranchises voters." - Former NSC Official Alice Hill We have a fix for that. mobilevoting.org Scott Detrow via https://lnkd.in/gNZZNNWd.

Secure Families Initiative does important work to make sure active military and their families have access to information about voting in U.S. elections. During #MemorialDay, join us in calling for a #mobilevoting option for those who serve and their families. Megan Paone describes her experiences trying to vote while serving overseas and what led her to become active in military voter education.

Join us in calling for a #mobilevoting option for the families of our active duty service members. They face many of the same challenges as those serving in the armed forces. Unreliable postal service and lack of access to printers when living overseas make voting as a military spouse more difficult.
