Empowering Members to Promote Civic Engagement and Health Equity

Physicians play a critical role in encouraging civic engagement and advocating for policies that promote healthier, more equitable communities. Voting is one of the most powerful ways to shape public health outcomes by influencing policies that address key factors such as employment, housing, education, and the environment.

Your voice, with your patients and in your communities, can help drive changes in healthcare policy and access that benefits our communities.


To support our members and their patients in the voting process, the NMA is committed to making voting easy and accessible. We’ve developed social media graphics containing voting information tailored to each state, including key deadlines and details on incarcerated/felon voting laws. We encourage you to open these graphics, share them on your social media platforms, and ask your patients to be aware of this vital information and vote. Knowing your state’s specific voting deadlines and laws is crucial to making your voice heard.


In addition, make voting an easy and accessible process for your patients by registering with Vot-ER. Vot-ER provides badges with information on voting, poll locations, registration, and more. Equip yourself and your patients with the tools needed to participate in democracy.
