OCTOBER 17, 2026

The midterm elections are just around the corner and Trump is doing all he can to interfere. But there is good news: the best, easiest and safest step you can take to protect our elections is to vote early! Voting early allows time to cure ballots that have issues, keeps the crowds smaller on election day and reduces the opportunity for MAGA to intimidate voters or suppress the vote in other ways.

On October 17, NO KINGS is going to take action, this time to turn out an historic number of early voters nationwide. In California, where we have to option to vote early, the job is simple: get that ballot filled out, grab some friends and get to a drop box early.

We are working on some visibility events on the day to reminds folks to vote early, and you can check out other events and resources at NOKINGS.ORG. You can also register a VOTE EARLY event of your own — maybe a brunch and vote event, a corner honk and wave, a neighborhood march to a nearby dropbox … use your imagination. We’ll have information out soon on some banner drop events.
