Never miss another deadline. Ready Set Vote turns "I should probably check on that" into a clear, confident plan to vote. A live countdown keeps every date in front of you — registration deadlines, primaries, territory elections, and Election Day. Pin it to your Lock Screen with a Live Activity and glance at it from the Dynamic Island so the clock is always where you'll see it. A step-by-step readiness checklist walks you through the whole process: register, verify your voter info, learn what's on the ballot, find where to vote, and make a plan. Each step is short, plain-language, and built for first-time voters and anyone who recently moved. Early voting, done right. Every state shows its verified early-voting window — when it opens, when it ends, and whether it's open today — so you always know exactly how many days you have left to vote early. Find Where to Vote sends you straight to your state or territory's official polling place lookup with one tap. No guessing, no outdated third-party lists — just the authoritative source for where you belong on Election Day. Real territory coverage, finally. Ready Set Vote supports all 50 states and D.C. plus Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa with correct labels and correct dates — along with a clear, respectful explanation of voting in Puerto Rico. If you've ever opened an election app and found your home missing, this one was built with you in mind. Build a voting plan you'll actually follow: when you're going, where you're going, and how you're getting there. Share it with friends and family, then celebrate with an "I Voted" card that nudges the people you love to make their plan too. Ask Siri for a readiness check-in or a countdown to your next deadline, and get an answer right on your device. Office Spotlight explains what elected offices actually do — from county clerk to delegate to Congress — so down-ballot races stop feeling like a mystery. Strictly nonpartisan. No candidates, no parties, no endorsements, no opinions. Just the dates, the steps, and the official links. Private by design. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no analytics, and no tracking — everything, including your voting plan, lives on your device.
