Nothing like digging into a laundry list of challenges and solving them in live time! Dan and Ellie *attempt* that on this week's episode of Your Vote Matters.

First, we had the opportunity to chat with Tim Hughes, a candidate for the Nevada State Board of Education. Tim demystified a few questions about the roles of school boards and state boards of education, and expanded on how all constituents play a role in engaging with them. Spoiler: College students should engage! Listen in for his perspective on why.

After the break, Dan and Ellie take their sweet time analyzing challenges to voting in November, both old and new. Unfamiliar vote by mail processes, poll tax, lack of poll workers, the list goes ON. By acknowledging these challenges upfront, voters can be more prepared to work around them. Dan introduces the 4 R's to Voting By Mail or Dropbox: Request, Receive, Read, Return. Simple as that.

Of course, we tackle the elephant in the room: is all this extra effort needed to vote this year worth it? In a word, absolutely.

CEEP is proud to be one of hundreds of organizations working to make voting as accessible as possible this Fall.
