It's a big election year in 2024! Are you ready to vote?

The most publicized race on the November ballot is between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump for United States President. There are local and state races that you can vote on as well. Voting gives you a voice in all levels of government.

Step 1: Register to vote or check your registration.

To vote, you first need to be registered. Not sure if you're registered? You can check your Georgia registration at the Georgia Secretary of State's My Voter Page. Use Vote411's map to find the website to check your voter registration in other states.

Step 2: Decide how you'll vote.

Do you have a plan to vote? Will you vote early? Do you want to vote on Election Day? Will you need to request an absentee ballot? Find out more information through the Vote with SSU page on what these three options mean for you.

Step 3: Learn about the ballot.

There will be more on your ballot than just the presidential race.

Step 4: Get comfortable with the voting process.

If you haven't voted before, it's good to know what to expect when you go to vote.
