iFarmiVote Election Toolkit Revamped

With your Southeast Regional Ag News, I'm Haylie Shipp. This is the Ag Information Network.

The American Farm Bureau Federation has revamped its iFarmiVote election toolkit for the 2022 election cycle. Tom Donnelly, AFBF director of grassroots program development, says the toolkit gives you all the information you need before voting…

“Every election year farmers and ranchers turnout and vote in high numbers and we want to continue that in 2022. So, we've released our new 2022 iFarmiVote election resource. It's a resource available to anyone online and could be found at fb.org/vote. It contains information about candidates, where to vote, how to vote, absentee voting, and early voting.”

Donnelly says it's especially important this year because what you think you know might not still be the case.

“One of the reasons it’s important is because of this particular election cycle, there's many that live in a state that went through a process of redistricting after the 2020 census. So, the candidate and voting information that's contained in the website is fresh, it's new, it's constantly updated. And it's important for those in the agriculture community to support ag-friendly candidates, and to find out about those candidates, they can go to the website, and it'll pull up the candidates in their particular districts.”

There is also a place on that website, again fb.org/vote, where you can check to make sure you are registered to vote.
