European voters, grateful for the power they get from weekend voting, would be really grateful for our extra-long weekend for building power. Don’t waste it.

Voters in many other counties (Brazil, many European nations, even Afghanistan) have voting in national elections spread over a weekend.

WE HAVE AN EXTRA-LONG WEEKEND FOR VOTING – not only Saturday and today, Sunday (until 8 p.m.) but also Monday-- AND Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, all Early Voting days. Let's make every day matter.


 

 Maryland: Don’t miss your chance to take advantage of our EXTRA LOOOONG WEEKEND for voting.

European voters, grateful for the power they get from weekend voting, would be really grateful for our extra-long weekend for building power. Don’t waste it.

Voters in many other counties (Brazil, many European nations, even Afghanistan) have voting in national elections spread over a weekend. The higher turnout is strongly connected to that, and more people get their voices heard. For many, many election cycles we in the US have voted on Tuesdays, following an old pattern based on a spread-out, agricultural nation, with Election Day sandwiched between the Sabbath on Sunday and Wednesday’s market day.

NOW, IN MANY PARTS OF THE US, EARLY VOTING IS OPENING UP THE CHANCE TO BUILD AND GAIN POWER. IN MARYLAND, WE NEED TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CHANGE.

WE HAVE AN EXTRA-LONG WEEKEND FOR VOTING – not only Saturday and today, Sunday (until 8 p.m.) but also Monday-- AND Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, all Early Voting days when we can not only vote between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. at convenient locations, but also register to vote at the same time.

Check the requirements for on-the-spot Early Voting registration here; you will need several forms of ID and current address verification.

Progressive Maryland and your progressive friends urge you: Don’t pass up this chance to get your voice heard FOR SURE. You know how many of life’s little accidents can keep you from voting on Election Day, Nov. 6. Get it done this week, relax, and help your neighbors out to build power and bring change in Maryland.
