#TransPeopleVote

1 in 5 American Gen Z adults (aka 18-24 year olds!) identifies as LGTBQ+.  But many transgender and nonbinary people face barriers accessing the ID they need to register and vote safely.

For transgender and nonbinary people whose ID doesn’t match their name and gender, voter ID laws can make the experience of casting a ballot invalidating and intimidating.

Specifically: 30% of transgender voters report verbal harassment as a result of an ID with a name or gender marker that did not match their gender presentation.

VoteRiders and HeadCount’s Vote with Pride team are here to make sure you have everything you need to vote safely and confidently.


Step by Step

Trans and nonbinary voters: follow the steps below to update your ID and voter registration.

We know this process can be complicated, but we’ve got your back! We recommend getting started ASAP so you are ready to vote in the next election.

Update Your ID

The ID you need (or don’t need!) to vote depends on where you live. Your state also determines the process for changing your name and updating the gender marker on your driver’s license, state ID, or birth certificate.

CHECK YOUR STATE!

Register to Vote

At least two million voting-eligible LGBTQ+ Americans are not registered to vote. Make sure you are vote ready by registering (or re-registering) with your updated ID and info.
