Voting is one of the most powerful ways we can shape the future of our communities, businesses, and the world. But for too many, barriers to voting—especially in historically marginalized communities—make it difficult to exercise this right. As B Corps, it’s our responsibility to ensure all voices are heard and protected. Here’s what you need to know about protecting your vote and the votes of those around you: ??Know Your Rights at the Polls Every voter has the right to: ? Cast a ballot, even if their name isn’t on the voter list (request a provisional ballot if necessary). ? Ask for help if they need assistance reading or understanding the ballot. ? Vote even if the polls are about to close and they’re still in line—if you’re in line, you have the right to vote! ??What Employers Can Do: ? Inform employees about their voting rights and provide clear resources, especially for those in marginalized communities who may face extra challenges at the polls. ? Offer legal resources or hotlines (like the ACLU's voter protection hotline) that employees can call if they face suppression. ?? Historically Marginalized Communities Are Targeted More—Here’s How We Can Protect Ourselves: Voter suppression disproportionately impacts Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQ+, low-income, and immigrant communities. Knowing what to look for is the first step in protecting your right to vote: ? Voter ID laws: Make sure you know what ID is required in your state. If you don’t have one, ask for a provisional ballot and follow up to ensure it’s counted. ? Language barriers: If you need help understanding the ballot in your language, ask for assistance at the polls. ? Intimidation: If you experience intimidation or harassment at the polls, report it immediately to election officials or call a voter protection hotline. ???What to Do If Your Rights Are Challenged: ? Request a provisional ballot: If you’re denied the chance to vote, request a provisional ballot and make sure your vote is counted after Election Day. ? Call for help: The ACLU and other organizations offer voter protection hotlines you can call if you face voter suppression or intimidation. ? Document everything: Take note of names, locations, and what happened if you experience suppression. This helps legal teams act quickly. ???What Happens After Election Day? The work doesn’t end when the polls close. Here’s what to expect: ? Provisional ballots are reviewed: If you voted using a provisional ballot, follow up with your local election office to ensure it’s counted. ? Stay engaged: Continue to advocate for voter protection and support organizations that are fighting voter suppression year-round. Your vote is your voice.
