Healthy Voting Guides
Healthyvoting.org has the latest location-specific information on healthy voting options for all 50 states, DC and voting territories. It is updated in real time as jurisdictions complete primaries and finalize election rules. It’s compiled by major public health and civic organizations and legal updates are based on research from staff and volunteer lawyers with our partner We Can Vote.
The site prioritizes information about mail voting as long as voters can reasonably meet mail ballot request and return deadlines. If and when those windows close, the site prioritizes early voting and voting in-person.
Each state page also offers a foldable .pdf printout of a pocket voter guide that automatically updates along with the main site.
Mental Health
Civic Health Month has teamed up with Growga, an evidence-based program focused on making approachable mindfulness accessible. They’re donating 3 Growga Breaks this month to the Healthy Democracy Kit users working every day to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and get out the vote.
