If you’re based in the USA, this week feels strange, doesn’t it? It almost doesn’t feel real.😅 But the stress and anxiety reminds me that this is all veryyyy real. 📍I’m a woman living in a swing state. If you did not participate in early voting, I urge you to make a plan to vote tomorrow. Tuesday, November 5th, is Election Day.🗳️ It is now too late to mail in your ballot. You must go in person tomorrow to cast your vote. Please check your local polling station hours - it differs state by state. Visit “iwillvote dot com” to get all the information you need and all your questions answered. And if you’re still on the fence, not sure if you want to vote, etc. I urge you to PLEASE do your civic duty. Our democracy is on the line. Rights are at stake. Your vote is your voice and your voice is your power.💪🏻 And your vote matters. No matter where you live. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I know we tend to focus on the swing states, and those votes seem to be “extra important”, but every single vote will be counted and every single vote makes a difference. Don’t sit this one out. If you’ve never voted before but are registered to vote where you live, I ask you to please get out there and vote for the first time. There’s never been a better time to start. If you’ve already voted (thank you!), I encourage you to remind your friends and family to vote. Check in with them to see if they’ve already voted or if they have a plan to vote on November 5th. Have some extra time? Volunteer to phone bank or canvass. It’s now or never. Tomorrow is the last day to make your voice heard. Remember that a vote is not a valentine. It’s a chess move. And no one will ever know who you vote for (unless you choose to share). Your vote is a secret. Sending big hugs to everyone who’s feeling the pressure this week.✨

Wednesday Wisdom Do you realize how fortunate Americans are to have a voice in how our country is run? There are many countries in the world where the common person has NO voice at all in determining the path of their country. Yes, I am talking about the right to vote. Voting allows us to provide our preferred action to the leaders of our City, County, State, and the Nation. While we each have the right to vote, it should be viewed as a responsibility to vote in an educated way. What do I mean by that? I am referring to having an idea who and what you are casting your vote for. When it comes to ballot measures, read the entire issue. Think through the impacts of a "yes" or "no" vote and cast your vote the way that you prefer. Don't just blindly vote in a way because you saw an ad about "Vote YES on Measure XX!" The same goes for voting for a particular candidate. Read up on what the candidate stands for. Read up on which issues they support and plan to implement. Don't just vote based on party affiliation or on a single issue. #WednesdayWisdom #votesmart #responsiblevote

I've been getting in my shifts with the Election Protection Call Center, the non-partisan election questions hotline that Stinson LLP has partnered with for many years. With the primary elections behind us in both Kansas and Missouri, if you haven't done it yet, now is the time to check your voter registration status to ensure you are able to vote in the November general election. Missourians: You must register to vote by October 9, 2024. If you're not sure you're registered, check here: https://lnkd.in/ghA9xNP3. If you need help, call (866) OUR-VOTE and someone (maybe me!) will walk you through it. If you find you are not registered, register here: https://lnkd.in/g3bxTnMk. You should do this now, literally today, because shit happens, things occasionally get messed up or lost, and you want to be able to vote in the November and other upcoming elections. Do it. Remember: Missouri only has in-person voting on Election Day, so if you are unavailable on November 5, you will also need to request an absentee ballot. That is a separate process, which you should also do ASAP (as outlined above :)). You can get the request form here: https://lnkd.in/gugWfAt2 Kansans: You must register to vote by October 15, 2024. If you are not sure if you are registered, check here: https://lnkd.in/gBvWBdqz (I literally just checked mine again - so easy). If you are not registered or your registration is not accurate or up to date, fix this now. Seriously, today. You can do that here: https://lnkd.in/ggHstn5Q. If you have any trouble, call (866) OUR-VOTE and someone will help you. We do this year-round and are so happy to help on a timeline that results in you voting. Kansas has early voting, but you can still vote absentee upon request. That form is here: https://lnkd.in/gyvUGaAc There we have it. Good luck, all! If you’re interested in a state I missed, LMK! Happy Election season!

It's National Voter Registration Day! I only recently put two and two together that "undecided voters" are both voters who aren't sure who they want to vote for yet AND potential voters who aren't sure they want to vote. If you're in the latter category, don't foreclose your opportunity to vote on Election Day by failing to register before the window closes. Registering to vote is super easy (and if you have trouble, call (866) OUR-VOTE and they can help you in real time), and (while I hope you don't) if you still feel apathetic, you've lost nothing. Consider this my strong suggestion you do it today. The resources below are still good, or you can go through Nonprofit VOTE's website and celebrate the big day with others: https://lnkd.in/gdG2pivC . If you want info on other states, send me a note and I'll grab them for you!

Hi BPS, as a student member I would like to ask the candidates their thoughts on the Cass Review and its implications for the BPS going forward. Can I put this question to all candidates or do I need to directly ask each of them?
