About Voting

Learn. Register. Prepare. Participate.

Voting is an important way for citizens to make their voices heard and participate in their communities and our democracy. Whether you're preparing to register for the first time, getting ready for an upcoming election, or helping others become voters, 1 Citizen at a Time is here to help you understand the process and find the resources you need.

Why Voting Matters

Your voice matters.

Voting gives citizens an opportunity to participate in elections and have a say in the people and decisions that shape their communities.

Understanding how elections work, knowing your rights and responsibilities, and being prepared to participate are important parts of becoming an engaged citizen.

 

Getting Ready to Vote

Whether you’re a first-time voter or simply want to learn more, understanding the voting process can help you feel prepared and confident.

From pre-registration and voter registration to learning what’s on your ballot and finding important election dates, we’re here to help you navigate the process.

In New York? You Can Start Early.

New York is one of the states that allows eligible 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register to vote. Pre-registration gives young people an opportunity to complete the registration process before they are eligible to cast a ballot.

1 Citizen at a Time is strictly nonpartisan. We help people register and pre-register to vote, and we help people prepare for their citizenship interview. We do not support or oppose any candidate, party, or ballot measure, in any of our programs or materials.
