🚨UPDATE ON BALLOT ACCESS🚨

Over the last few months, volunteers around the country have been actively petitioning, talking with and collecting signatures from tens of thousands of people ready to see a socialist on the ballot in their state.

As of today, our campaign:

  • 💥 Is officially on the ballot in 9 states
  • 💥 Has submitted the required signatures in 7 states
  • 💥 Is still pursuing ballot access in an additional 7 states
  • 💥 Is pursuing official write-in status in 22 states

Our campaign has a path to over 270 electoral college votes — a majority.

The two-party system makes it incredibly difficult for third party candidates without huge financial resources to access ballots in some states. No matter what status your state is, we encourage supporters to get involved and help build the movement for a future by and for the people beyond the ballot box!

Whether you can donate your money your time, or both — we need your help! Visit 🔗http://votesocialist2024.com/volunteer to learn how you can get involved!

Good for them PSL

i gave the psl my presidential vote in 2020 and i'm probably doing it again assuming they get ballot access.

I applied to join as well, because i have a lot of free time right now and I'm sick of not doing anything for what i believe in

i'm glad the ballot access map is decent, i hope it grows!

also it was the only time i ever had my ballot challenged lol. I had to affirm my signature and vote was for gloria la riva. Because Washington state mails out ballots, it's easy to vote and i'd done it a little bit (especially on ballot initiatives) and i was taken aback that the one time I vote how I want, i get my vote taken off the official tallies for a time to mail in the challenge response
