Early Voting Is OPEN in Rock Island County — Let’s Go Vote!

✅ BRING A FRIEND CHALLENGE ✅

Don’t vote alone. Text a neighbor. Grab a coworker for lunch. Take your spouse, your parent, your best friend.

Make it a two-person mission: “I’m going to vote—come with me.”

(Seriously… bring one person. If everyone did that, turnout would explode.)
