Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd, just under two weeks from today.

And between our Regular Grant Cycle and Special Initiative funding for 2026, SPF has directed over $500k to grassroots organizations focused on voter rights across the rural South. These organizations have spent that time engaging their communities on how to exercise their constitutional right to vote, why it matters, and what to do if they encounter any forms of voter suppression along the way. This highly relational work pays off when people follow through at the polls. Between now and November 3rd: • Check your registration status and find your polling place at vote.gov, which links to your state’s official election office. • Many of our states have early voting underway. Look up your state’s dates and ID requirements before you go. • Pick a day and time to vote, and line up a ride if you need one. • If you have a question or feel nervous about voting for any reason, reach out to a trusted grassroots or community organization near you. • If you run into a problem at the polls, you can also call the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683). Tell a friend or family member you’re going and ask them to do the same. #ElectionDay #VoterRights #GrassrootsOrganizing #SocialJustice #SouthernPartnersFund
