We at Families as Allies base everything we do on the definition of family-driven practice: “Families have the primary role in decisions regarding their children as well as the policies and procedures governing the well-being of all children in their community, state, tribe, territory and nation.”
Voting is one of the most fundamental ways families can influence the policies and procedures governing care for all children. Election Day is Tuesday, November 5. You must register by October 7 to vote in the November 5 election.
You register to vote by filling out this voter registration application and either mailing it to the circuit clerk or delivering it in person to an approved agency. You can click on your county on this map to get the address of the circuit clerk in your county so that you can mail your application. Remember, it needs to be postmarked by October 7 for you to be able to vote on November 5. You can also take your completed application in person to any of these locations in your county:
- Circuit Clerk’s Office;
- Municipal Clerk’s Office;
- Department of Public Safety; or
- Any state or federal agency offering government services, such as the Department of Human Services.
You can check if you are registered to vote using this link. Remember: you must have a photo ID to vote on Election Day. Call 1-844-MSVoter if you need more information about how to get a photo ID. Secretary of State Michael Watson shares the registration process in more detail in this brochure. Please visit Secretary Watson’s Y’all Vote page as well.
