Muslims.Vote serves as a one-stop hub for civic engagement, making it easier than ever for voters to participate in every election. With just the click of a button, users can enter their address to verify their voter registration, determine when their next primary or general election will take place, locate their polling place, learn about their voting rights, and create a personalized plan to vote.

REGISTER TO VOTE TODAY

With more than 8 million Muslims in America and over 3 million registered voters, our community already has the power to shape elections, especially in key swing states. But millions more eligible Muslim voters must register, show up, and make their voices count.

“Voting is more than a constitutional right—it is an amanah, a trust and responsibility,” said Robert S. McCaw, Government Affairs Department Director at CAIR. “Muslims.Vote was created to remove barriers to civic participation by putting everything voters need in one place. Whether you’re registering to vote, confirming your polling location, checking your voting rights, or making a plan to vote, Muslims.Vote puts the power of democracy at your fingertips. Silence has never secured justice, and disengagement has never protected our communities. Every American Muslim has the opportunity, and the responsibility, to make their voice count. Show up. Speak out. Vote.”

The platform includes:

  • Voter registration and registration verification.
  • Personalized election information, including primary and general election dates.
  • Polling place lookup based on a voter’s address.
  • Voting rights information.
  • Vote planning tools.
  • Civic engagement resources and advocacy toolkits.

CAIR has worked to strengthen Muslim civic participation and political power by encouraging American Muslims to view civic engagement as an extension of their faith and commitment to justice.

CAIR encourages all eligible American Muslims to visit Muslims.Vote to register to vote, verify their registration, learn about upcoming elections, create a voting plan, and access the resources needed to become informed and engaged participants in the democratic process.

CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.       

La misión de CAIR es proteger las libertades civiles, mejorar la comprensión del Islam, promover la justicia, y empoderar a los musulmanes en los Estados Unidos.
