Two Weeks Left to DO SOMETHING
Early voting sites—including the Beaches Library and 23 other locations—open today at 7 a.m. Georgia and North Carolina set records for their first-day turnout, and we can do the
same! Make no mistake---turnout is the key to winning this election. If you plan to vote early, vote now. You can vote at any early voting site through November 3rd. Sites are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. You can also drop off your vote-by-mail ballot---secure lock boxes are available at all early voting locations. Make sure your friends and family vote too. For information about down-ballot candidates, judges, and proposed constitutional amendments, check out and share the 2024 BAM Election Guide. There's a special page on Beach races and charter amendments, including links to candidate questionnaires and the Beaches Watch candidate forums. There are critical elections and issues on the lengthy ballot in addition to the presidential race, so urge the voters you know to vote early, be prepared, and vote the entire ballot. We have two weeks left to DO SOMETHING. Vice-President Kamala Harris is running the table with voter outreach (from Charlemagne tha God to Fox News) and we should too--- it takes all of us to ripple and build a wave. Let's win this!
