Everything you need to know before voting in 2025
Before change happens, people show up. Voting is one of the most powerful ways to use your voice — but first, you need to know how to make it count. Whether you’re registering for the first time or confirming your voter status, take a moment to know your rights, your deadlines, and your plan.
Voting Checklist: Are You Eligible?
You can vote in the 2025 elections if you:
• Are registered to vote in your state.
• Will be 18 years old on or before Election Day.
Deadline alert: Some states close voter registration 30 days before Election Day. Others allow Same-Day Registration (SDR) — meaning you can register and vote at the same time.
Check your eligibility and deadlines below to make sure your name is on the list.
Check your registration status – nass.org/can-I-vote
Find your registration deadlines – ballotready.org
Don’t Gatekeep Your Right to Vote
Your vote is your right — but rights only matter when you use them.
Take a minute to confirm your registration or register to vote today.
Some states allow same-day registration, so even if you missed the deadline, you may still be able to cast your ballot.
Visit nass.org/can-I-vote to check your registration status and find out what applies in your state.
About The Line
If the polls close while you’re still in line, stay in line.
As long as you were there before closing time, you have the right to vote.
This applies in every state. Don’t walk away.
Your presence matters — and your vote will be counted.

Be Prepared to Wait a While
Voting is worth your time.
Bring water, a snack, and something to keep your energy up. Long lines shouldn’t silence your voice.
Before you head to the polls:
• Bring your ID (requirements vary by state).
• Know your voting rights.
• Have a plan to vote — including how you’ll get there, what time you’ll go, and who you’re bringing with you.
Action Items:
• Check your registration status.
• Plan your transportation or mail-in ballot.
• Share this guide with your friends and community.
Your Vote. Your Power.
Every vote matters. Every voice matters. Know your vote — and make it count.

“I HAD TO FLEE KANSAS IN FEAR OF MY LIFE … FOR COOPERATING IN THE INVESTIGATION OF A MURDER OF A … GIRL BEING SEX TRAFFICKED BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED. PLEASE, PLEASE, HELP ME PLEASE.”
“THE CORRUPTION IS NOT ONLY IN OUR POLICE STATION BUT ALL THROUGHOUT THE UNIFIED GOVERNMENT AND THE BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES.”
“IN KANSAS CITY KANSAS THE POLICE FAILED TO CONDUCT A INVESTIGATION AND PUT ME IN JAIL ON HEARSAY AND NO PHYSICAL EVIDENCE…”
“SUPERVISORS ABUSED THEIR POSITION BY MAKING SEXUAL ADVANCES TOWARDS FEMALE DEPUTIES AND CIVILIAN STAFF. THEY USED THEIR POSITION TO INTIMIDATE OTHERS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO GO TO WORK WHEN YOUR SUPERVISOR WAS CLEARLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL.”
"Report me to who? The police? I am the police.”
“My sister's dead. My cousin's dead. My life has been ruined. The Unified Government, Kansas City, Kansas, did me wrong.”
“...we watched our friends and families die and disappear and without any help, without being able to cry out to anybody…”
“You would think that they were talking about the Mafia. Drugs, murders, trafficking minors and women. Every crime you can think of. That government looked like they supported it. And the police were involved in it. There was no where you could go for refuge from that…”
“When Golubski was asked in a 2020 deposition in a civil suit if he’d ever raped an underage girl in his cop car, or had a lucrative side hustle in drugs and prostitution, or investigated a crime he himself had committed, he invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself. He did that 555 times in a single sitting.”
“Golubski also contends that in 1997 the state of the law did not provide him with ‘fair warning’ that he could be held criminally liable under 18 U.S.C. § 242 when using his badge of authority to engage in kidnapping and/or sexual abuse.”
“...Golubski argued at the [motion to dismiss] hearing . . . that at the time [of the alleged crimes] there was no substantive due process right to avoid being raped or kidnapped by a state actor.”
