Your Vote, Your Business, Your Future

With the November 3 Election Day just two weeks away, now is the time for franchise owners and professionals to make a plan to vote.

Why It Matters: IFA has produced a “Franchising Votes” resource page to give you the voting information you need to head to the polls on November 3.

What’s Next: The midterm election will determine the future of policies from taxes to labor and regulation that impact how your business can operate and thrive, and you have a say in the outcome of those races.

IFA to Host Post-Election Member Briefing

After the election, join IFA’s Chief Advocacy Officer Mike Layman and our Government Relations team for an exclusive member webinar explaining everything franchise businesspeople need to know about the 2026 midterm results on Monday, November 9 at 3:00 p.m. ET.

Why It Matters: There are 39 governorships, 35 U.S. Senate seats, 435 U.S. House seats and 6,139 state legislative seats on the ballot nationwide on November 3, and this will be your first opportunity to hear how the outcome of these races could lead to policy changes in your area.
