REALTORS® understand that public policy decisions made at every level of government can have a direct impact on property rights, housing affordability, land use, infrastructure and so much more. While advocacy takes many forms, it starts at the ballot box.

Voting allows REALTORS® to help shape the future of communities and support policies that promote homeownership, protect private property rights and foster a healthy real estate environment. Whether you plan to vote during early voting, by mail or on Election Day, we encourage you to make a plan.

As the November election approaches, use the checklist and resources below to ensure you’re prepared, informed, and ready to vote. A few minutes of preparation today can help you make your voice count when it matters most.
