Hey [FRIEND’S NAME],

I wanted to reach out about something I’ve been getting involved in that I think you’d really care about—making voting more accessible through mobile voting.

A lot of people still face real barriers when it comes to voting—whether it’s long distances to polling places, disabilities, work schedules, or being overseas. Even with mail-in voting, there are still issues that can make it harder for people to participate.

Mobile voting is a way to fix that. It would let people securely cast their ballots from their phones, using the same kinds of protections we trust for banking and healthcare (things like identity verification, encryption, and ballot tracking). And it’s not just theoretical—places that have piloted it have actually seen big increases in turnout.

The goal isn’t to replace in-person or mail voting, just to add another option so more people can participate.

Right now, there’s legislation being considered that would allow this to move forward, and lawmakers really do pay attention when they hear from constituents. Would you be open to taking a minute to contact your state legislators and let them know you support mobile voting—it only takes about 30 seconds?
