VoteforWildlife

You matter. Your vote matters.

Legislators make decisions every day that can help (or harm) the places where wildlife and people live. As a voter, you have the power to help choose those legislators.

Your vote does make a difference. The future for wildlife and communities hangs in the balance during each election. Your vote on a state ballot measure or for a wildlife-friendly candidate enables us to work with officials who are willing to protect wildlife habitats and public lands, combat climate change, and ensure clean air and water. 

Legislators know the power you wield as a registered voter. From the presidential race to local elections, your vote decides who is in or out. It’s why the National Wildlife Federation supports fair elections–so that you may flex your power to vote for issues that matter to you like wildlife conservation and environmental protections.

Make sure your voice is heard by voting. Vote for wildlife. Vote for the environment.
