2020 Election
Make your voice heard!
In 2020, U.S. citizens will not only elect the President, but also 435 representatives, 35 senators, 44 state legislatures, and 11 governors. Now more than ever, scientists need to engage in the policy process. One of the easiest ways is to research your candidates and exercise your right to vote. ASA, CSSA, and SSSA encourages all Society members who are U.S. citizens to vote in the November 3 election.
