AARP Maryland Mobilizing Older Voters Ahead of 2020 Elections

AARP Maryland is launching "Protect Voters 50+,” a comprehensive voter engagement campaign to support and protect Marylanders age 50 and up as they vote in the 2020 elections.

A centerpiece of the campaign is information about voting options in Maryland this fall at aarp.org/mdvotes, the AARP Bulletin, direct mail, digital communications and paid media.

How to Vote in Maryland's 2020 Election: What you need to know.

“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 John Hishta, AARP Senior Vice President of Campaigns. “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:

• Polling
• Issue briefings 
• Email, text messaging, social media and paid media
  

Across the country, AARP 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 Marylanders to ask questions, so they understand where the candidates stand on important issues and make their own decisions this fall.
