We ask everyone here and around the world to join us as we hold in the Light all U.S. citizens as they engage in the election process in all states and territories to cast their votes for the leadership in our local, state, and federal governments by November 3, 2020; to count and report those votes securely; and to participate in the Electoral College process.
