- Expecting that someone's appearance may differ from ID if they are among the very small group of voters that need to confirm identity w/ documentation and choose to do so w/ ID. (Only applies to first time voters who registered by mail and did not verify eligibility earlier.)

- Keeping it private when you learn about a voter's transgender, GNC or nonbinary identity. - Validating how voters present themselves, like you would anyone else.

Never assume gender, ask what someone's "real" name is or ask about medical information.

This is about making sure every registered voter can exercise their right to vote. The results of this election will impact us, our communities and our rights. Every eligible voter must be counted.
