Voting PSAs are meant to make you laugh, get you excited about democracy, and above all, motivate you to cast a ballot on Election Day — a day that will influence the next 10 years of our lives.

In an effort to combat historic patterns of underwhelming voter turnout during midterm elections, brands and advocacy organizations have released video campaigns designed to get out the vote. They've enlisted your favorite actors, like Black Panther's Chadwick Boseman and Crazy Rich Asians star Constance Wu, as well as President Barack Obama, to share one clear message: You need to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

In recent years, only about 40 percent of eligible voters took part in midterm elections. That needs to change this Election Day because reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, common-sense gun control, and other key issues are all at stake.

You've probably seen plenty of voting PSAs in your feed, but these are 13 of the best campaigns released so far, in our humble opinion. Share them. Retweet them. Do what you need to spread the message to your friends, family, and anyone else in your inner circle who will listen. Given recent claims of voter suppression, it's important that everyone who can participates in the democratic process. Now sit back, click play, and get pumped to vote.
