    As governors & election officials grapple in real time with very difficult questions, every state has to make the right decision about when to conduct their elections amidst the #COVID19 crisis. But no matter what, they need to give voters ample notice to avoid chaos & confusion.

        When states do move forward with elections, they need to adhere to @CDCgov guidance because the health and safety of voters is paramount and of crucial concern. And while we protect public health, we must protect the right to vote at the same time. We can’t discard our democracy.

        There are measures that states must enact immediately to ensure we’re ready for upcoming primaries and for the general election in November. This includes accessible online voter registration, expanded in-person early voting, no excuse vote by mail, and other important reforms.

        And it can’t be one size fits all. Vote by mail alone isn’t enough: Twenty-six percent of Native Americans in Arizona don’t have a US postal address. Some voters with disabilities and voters with language access needs rely on in-person voting to cast a ballot. We need options.

        To that end, @civilrightsorg and more than 200 organizations released a list of very concrete measures that states need to enact so that every eligible voter can cast a ballot safely and have it counted. Read the full document here: http://bit.ly/3dcs7GY

        Our democracy works best when everyone participates. It’s the job of our policymakers to ensure our systems work, especially when there is a crisis like #COVID19. We will remain vigilant to ensure that the crisis we’re facing doesn’t exacerbate problems in our voting system.

        Replying to @vanitaguptaCR

        is there a reason why voting in November couldn't take place over the course of a week as opposed to just one day?
