Election Day is Every Tuesday: Mar 30 - Apr 5, 2026
Small but mighty election day!
This week’s elections are pretty lowkey, but, as always, that doesn’t mean they don’t matter. We got two Dem legislative runoffs in AR. They’re both Dem seats already, so it’s a great chance to just get the right candidate. DE, IA, MA, and SC all have municipal elections, and we know how important those are now, right?
And, at the end of the week there’s a City Council race in Houston, Texas as well.
There’s also early voting starting in Georgia and Missouri.
Do you have an election this week? Are you gonna vote?
