The awareness campaign — timed just months before large elections of the year – is designed to provide voters with important information about how to register to vote in their local districts and basic vote information.

Voting isn’t as simple as driving to a polling place or requesting a mail-in ballot — there are steps you need to take to ensure you’re prepared to vote on Election Day, which is Nov. 3 this year. For example, you need to be registered to vote and you may be required to bring a specific form of identification with you to the polls.

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, many states are now opening absentee or mail-in voting to all citizens. You can also choose to vote early at your polling location if it’s offered in your state.

Google’s Doodle on Tuesday links to a trove of information about how to register to vote.
