Starting today, and through the fall, we’ll be writing and stockpiling 1.5 million letters to voters in Virginia in advance of the general elections on November 2. Virginia’s odd-year elections tend to serve as a bellwether for the midterm elections, so boosting turnout is crucial.
The Virginia campaigns will unfold in two waves:
FIRST WAVE: We’ll start with a “vote by mail” letter wave, and stockpile those letters until we mail on Saturday, September 18, right when absentee and early in-person voting begin.
SECOND WAVE: When all of those letters are written, we’ll roll out a wave of “please vote” letters, and stockpile those letters until the Saturday, October 16 mail date.
Launch days are a great time to start writing letters, and there are 1.5 million to write this summer, so why not start today?
As a Vote Forward volunteer, you make campaigns like this one possible, and your letters will no doubt encourage many Virginia voters to cast ballots in 2021. We cannot thank you enough for your contributions to this important work.

P.S. Forever stamp prices are expected to increase by three cents in August, so now is a great time to replenish your stamp inventory.
