Nearly nine million LGBTQ+ adults are registered and eligible to vote in the 2020 general election.

The LGBTQ+ community includes people from all racial, ethnic, gender, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. That means we are uniquely positioned to improve voter turnout and make a difference in election results.

This year's presidential election has high stakes for the LGBTQ+ community with laws around anti-discrimination protections in housing, education, employment, health care, and more hanging in the balance.  How do you help someone register to vote? Get started here.

Having ID that doesn’t match one's gender identity or presentation should not affect their right to cast a ballot in any state. But with increasingly strict voter ID laws, trans people often face barriers.  The National Center for Transgender Equality can help.

Registering people to vote, equipping them with information about what’s on the ballot, and reminding them to vote on election day can bring attention to your community center and your mission.
