The Sierra Club is reporting that it has released an environmental issues guide urging voters to prepare for Election Day, which it said falls on Tuesday, November 3, with early voting available in 31 states.
It said voters should confirm their registration status immediately through vote.org, noting that certain states are purging eligible voters and that South Carolina, Alaska and Rhode Island have registration deadlines within days. The organization also pointed supporters to the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE for additional questions.
The Sierra Club said voters casting mail-in ballots should send them at least one week before Election Day and can track their ballots in many states. It said the administration of President Donald J. Trump is trying to make voting more confusing so that fewer people participate, and it advised voters to proceed with whichever method they originally planned.
The organization said the Trump administration has followed the Project 2025 playbook since taking office, describing it as a giveaway to corporate polluters. It said the administration has moved to sell off public lands, reduce protections for endangered species, dismantle clean energy policies and allow pollution of air and water, while courting corporate polluters and racing to build data centers.
The Sierra Club said it is encouraging supporters to share its guide with friends, family and neighbors, arguing that people who do not regularly vote are more likely to turn out when those around them make clear that voting matters. It said corporate polluters and billionaires spent a reported $1.2 billion to influence the 2026 elections.
The organization said elections are one way people participate in democracy and influence decisions on public lands, clean air and water, energy policy and climate protections. It said mis- and disinformation spreads quickly during election season and urged voters to pause, check sources and verify information before sharing it.
The Sierra Club said collective advocacy has blocked some of the worst attacks on lands and climate, and it called on supporters to keep pressure on decision-makers through organizing, marching, lobbying and testifying. It said more people care about the planet than want to pollute and profit from it, and that working together in large numbers can create real change.
