Get Informed and Prepare to Vote
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
As we approach to the Election Day, it is crucial that we are all well-informed about the voting ID laws in every state. Knowing what the requirements are for voting is essential to ensure that each of us can exercise our right to vote smoothly and without any issues.
Understanding the voting ID laws not only better prepares us to participate in the elections and celebrate our achievements but also strengthens our democracy.
Every vote counts, and when we are well-informed and prepared, we ensure that our voices are heard and that our concerns as a community are addressed.
While we prepare for this important day in which we choose for our country and future, let's make sure to check what the requirements are in your state and have all the necessary documents ready to vote.
Don’t let a lack of information or preparation prevent you from exercising your right to participate in this fundamental process. Remember nuestro voto es nuestro poder, our vote it's a powerful tool to influence the decisions that affect our lives, the lives of nuestras familias and our communities.
Together, we can make a difference. Let's get informed, prepared, and ready to vote! Together, we are strong!
In Solidarity,
Evelyn DeJesus
LCLAA National President
