πŸ’₯ 5 Minute Midterms WEEK 7: It's the final countdown! Time to... Check Your Work, and VOTE!!! πŸ—³οΈ βœ… Already voted in person? Woohoo!! Nailed it. ⚑ Already voted by mail? Track your ballot to confirm it was received and counted!

πŸ“ Planning to Vote In-Person? Confirm your polling location and double-check the hours! They can change day to day. ⚠️ Planning to Vote by Mail? USPS mailboxes are no longer a safe guarantee! Either return your ballot to a dropbox or voting site, or ask for a manual postmark at a USPS location.

Today (Oct 27) is the last "safe" day to return your ballot via USPS! We highly recommend now returning it to a dropbox or voting site (options differ by state) If you *must* return via USPS, take your ballot to a USPS location and ask for a postmark at the counter. Maybe take a photo w/ it too. πŸ—³οΈ
