Election Day is Tuesday, November 5

Candidates elected to positions up and down the ballot will shape policies that directly impact the health of young people, families and communities.  

AAP is leading a nonpartisan Get Out the Vote campaign to provide pediatricians with the tools they need to cast their ballot and share the importance of voting. 


Voting is one of the most powerful ways to influence change at the local, state and national levels. There is a connection between voting and health equity.
