AARP never has and never will endorse candidates or contribute to their campaigns, nor do we ever support or contribute to any political party. But as part of our fight for Americans 50-plus and their families, we will be fully engaged in the critical role of making sure older Americans have the information and insight they need to vote in primaries and general elections.

This is especially important this year, because a number of states have changed their voting procedures. We want to help voters cut through the clutter of misinformation by providing them with the tools they need to cast a ballot.

Here’s some of what we have planned for Election 2024.

→ AARP will provide state election guides at aarp.org/electionguides. They will be updated with information about how to register, election requirements, and how, where and when to vote in the upcoming primaries and general election. Each guide will steer people to helpful resources, including links to the state offices that oversee elections.

→ Come September, we’ll publish 53 separate election guides in the AARP Bulletin to make sure every AARP member knows exactly how to participate in their state’s elections. Plus, AARP will sponsor tele-town halls and webinars with nonpartisan election experts who will share details on how to vote.

→ We will partner with local media to help provide the most up-to-date information about the election.

→ We will provide issue briefs and regular news updates at aarp.org/vote to keep voters informed. You’ll find election news on AARP’s social media sites, including our Facebook site advocating for older Americans (facebook.com/AARPadvocates).

→ Throughout the election cycle, we’ll run special election reports in the AARP Bulletin. We’ll seek out the candidates of major parties and ask them to explain their positions on issues critical to people 50-plus.

Finally, AARP will encourage our members to get involved in our voter engagement campaign by volunteering with our state offices. Older voters are vital to our democracy. We’re here to help you make informed decisions. —John Hishta, AARP senior vice president for campaigns
