A day before Election Day, more than 91.6 million Americans have voted in the 2020 Election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a high schooler who just turned 18 or an 91-year-old grandma watching as her grandkids play in the front yard, it\u2019s your responsibility to cast a ballot at every opportunity you get. It is how each and every one of us has our voice heard and participates in our democracy. Voting should be a safe and accessible process for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cirkled In is proud to say that young people are driving record voter turnout across the nation, even in Texas<\/a>! As the deadline to cast a ballot approaches, we\u2019ve curated some helpful, non-partisan resources for readers of all ages. Be sure to share with friends, family, and community members heading to the polls tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
