Elections

Mission Statement:

LSRI Election Team works to inform and educate the public on a wide variety of voting and voter issues. Members of the LSRI Election Team believe there exists no greater right and privilege for U.S. citizens than our right to vote. Voting gives us the power to create positive change for our country, community, and family, and plays an active role in shaping the future. Voting carries the power to influence policies, hold leaders accountable, and create a more inclusive society.

Voting is a fundamental right granted to all U.S. citizens, and this right is not without responsibilities. Voters need to plan how they will vote, who they will vote for, and ensure that every legal voter has access to the polls on election day. Fortunately, the LSRI Election Team has gathered a variety of resources. On the Elections: Voting Information page, you will find details on how to create a voting plan so that you are ready for election day. The LSRI Election Team has compiled information about the candidates running for local and national seats, which is shared on the Election: Primary Candidate Summary page. The Elections: Election Protection page has information on how to become involved in helping to ensure that every legal voter can cast their ballots and have them properly counted. Your right to vote gives you the ability to shape the future of our Nation. It is your responsibility to ensure that you not only take advantage of your fundamental right but also that you are a well-informed and engaged voter.
