Vote-by-mail is essential for millions of Americans who might not otherwise be able to participate in our democracy. As threats to mail voting continue nationwide, we’re gathering real stories from voters who depend on it and the barriers they may face trying to vote in person.

Your answers will help us understand how vote-by-mail supports your ability to participate — and what challenges you would face without it. A member of our team may contact you if we have follow-up questions.
