As the 2024 election season approaches, the ABA Governmental Affairs Office (GAO) is committed to providing the tools and resources needed to ensure that all citizens are informed, prepared, and engaged in the democratic process. The ABA Election Center is the go-to, nonpartisan hub for voters and legal professionals alike, offering a comprehensive collection of resources for navigating this important election cycle.

Whether you are a first-time voter, a seasoned participant, or a legal professional looking to volunteer, the Election Center is designed to support you. With state-by-state information, registration tools, and resources on voting laws and rights, it equips voters with everything they need to make their voices heard on Election Day.

Explore Your Voter Resources

One of the most important steps in preparing for any election is ensuring that you are registered and ready to vote. The Election Center simplifies this process by offering quick access to tools where you can check your voter registration status and find your nearest polling location. For those who may need to vote early or by mail, the platform provides up-to-date state-by-state absentee voting guidelines, making it easier to navigate your state's unique requirements.

Beyond these practical tools, the Election Center also empowers voters by educating them on their rights. With the Know Your Voting Rights section, voters can learn about key protections in place to ensure a fair voting process, especially in cases of discrimination, accessibility issues, or other challenges.

Legal Professionals: Get Involved in Election Integrity

Legal professionals have a unique role to play in ensuring the integrity of elections. Through the Poll Worker, Esq. initiative, the ABA encourages lawyers, law students, and other legal professionals to volunteer as poll workers. By stepping up to serve at polling locations, legal experts can help ensure the sanctity and fairness of the voting process, providing critical oversight and support on Election Day.

For those interested, the Election Center provides all the necessary information on how to register as a poll worker in your state, including specific requirements and training resources. By participating, you not only help ensure a smooth election process but also contribute to protecting the rights of all voters.

Stay Informed on Key Election Issues

In addition to tools for voting logistics, the Election Center serves as a trusted source for nonpartisan information on Members of Congress. You can explore things like bios for current legal professionals in Congress and upcoming webinars and CLE’s relating to this election cycle.

As the election landscape evolves, the ABA Election Center will remain updated with new information to reflect changes in voting laws, deadlines, and policies, ensuring that voters have the most current information at their fingertips.

Make Your Vote Count in 2024

The ABA Election Center is an indispensable resource for all voters, whether you are looking to register, learn about the issues, or volunteer as a poll worker. With so much at stake, the ABA is committed to ensuring that every eligible voter has the tools to participate in this critical election.
