Voters need our support.

Operation Vote Safe is mobilizing civic-minded businesses to support a safe, secure 2020 election.

Voters and poll workers need your help to #VoteSafe.

Although the November election is over, Georgia has two runoff elections on January 5. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt the election, putting voters at risk and damaging trust in our elections.

In response, we’re mobilizing civic-minded businesses and their communities to support a safe, secure 2020 election. And we need your help.

Make a donation to our voter safety fund.

We helped provide support to hundreds of thousands of voters on Election Day — but there is still work to do in 2021!

You can make a difference. 100% of your donation will help provide:

Masks for voters who cannot afford them
Snacks and water to voters waiting in long lines at the polls
Ballot drop boxes in areas of need
Hand sanitizer and gloves for poll workers who are running short on supplies

How can you help?

Businesses are supporting this national, all-hands-on-deck response by donating PPE, equipment, and related supplies to state and county election officials, recruiting poll workers, providing facilities for polling locations or drop boxes, assisting with voter communications, and more.

Election workers. Inviting employees to work the polls and help count ballots.
Equipment and supplies. Donating safety supplies like PPE and hand sanitizer, equipment like dropboxes and sneeze guards, and office supplies like pens and sorting bins.
Facilities and logistics. Offering company facilities as polling places, fleet vehicles for ballot pickup, ballot dropboxes on company property.
Communications. Creating voter guides, social media content, public service announcements.

For the 2020 Election, we had operations in 26 states and the District of Columbia. Now we’re working on Georgia’s Senate runoff election ending on January 5.
