AARP Georgia launched "Protect Voters 50+," a comprehensive voter engagement campaign to support and protect Georgians age 50 and up, as they vote in the 2020 elections. The campaign will provide information on where candidates stand on issues that matter to Georgians 50-plus and help them cast their votes safely by mail or in-person. 

A centerpiece of the campaign will focus on providing information about voting options in Georgia this fall at https://states.aarp.org/georgia/election-voting-guide, the AARP Bulletin, direct mail, digital communications and paid media. The campaign will also advocate for enhanced absentee ballot access and pursue litigation when needed.

"AARP is demanding action to make sure that Americans 50-plus – whether they are working parents, family caregivers, or seniors in nursing homes – can vote and make their voices heard," said Debra Tyler-Horton, AARP Georgia State Director. "Politicians need to protect the health and financial security of voters 50+, especially during this pandemic."

The "Protect Voters 50+" campaign will provide people with the information they need about this year's elections, including:

AARP Georgia will track key races, sponsor debates, and host tele-townhall events. Election information will be provided through a full-scale digital effort, including, aarp.org/election2020, AARP Now app, social media, and news alerts.

AARP has a proud 34-year history of non-partisan voter engagement and does not endorse or oppose candidates, nor does AARP make contributions to political campaigns or candidates. We encourage all Georgians to ask questions, so they understand where the candidates stand on important issues and make their own decisions on Election Day.
