Use when: it’s 60 days out (or whenever you realize you’re behind).
Goal: remove friction so voting is boring and guaranteed.
The plan (15 minutes)
- Confirm registration (you + household)
- Decide voting method (early, mail, day-of)
- Pick the date/time and put it on the calendar
- Remove the blocker (ID, ride, childcare, time off)
- Get the ballot info (sample ballot, key races)
- Make a backup plan (if work/kids chaos hits)
“What could stop me?”
- Work schedule → choose early/mail
- Transportation → line up a ride / transit plan
- Childcare → trade with a friend for 2 hours
- Forgetting → 2 reminders (a week before + the day before)
Keep it human
Voting isn’t your whole identity. It’s one habit that protects everything else.
What success looks like
You voted, calmly. You helped one other person do the same.
