NYC primaries are coming up soon, and for this election I want to focus on raising awareness about the race. So here's the deal:
You post the following text on either Bluesky or Mastodon (or I guess if you ask you could do some other social media site, I just need to be able to confirm it):
★★★★★★★★★★★ TEXT TO POST ★★★★★★★★★★★
If you live in NYC, the deadline to register to vote in the upcoming mayoral primary is June 14th, and the primary itself is on the 24th!
Zohran Mamdani is currently getting the most attention from Progressives. He's been endorsed by AOC!
--- The mayoral primary will have a huge impact on NYC's next few years.
Remember that the primary uses Ranked Choice voting! That means you can vote for a preferred candidate like Zohran and rank backup candidates below him in case he loses. You don't need to worry about vote splitting!

Then you link me to that post, and give me a (short) doodle idea - ideally just a sentence or two at max.
FAQ:
★ Do I need to be a NYC resident? No! Since this is just focused on raising awareness about the voter registration deadlines and the candidates involved, I don't care whether you live in NYC or not. You'll still be spreading awareness about the race.
★ Can I add additional text/tags to it? Yep! As long as the original text and link is included, you're good <3
★ Does it have to be posted publicly? Yes, the point of this is to raise awareness about the election deadline and the candidates and to encourage more public participation in politics - there's a very limited reach that I have, and having the information in other public feeds will make it more likely to show up for critters who need to see it. :3
★ What can I request? Anything SFW or NSFW that complies with my normal content rules.
★ How large will the sketches be? That depends on how many requests I get. Pawbably not more than 5 minutes, maybe even a little quicker if a lot of critters ask for one. Try to keep ideas simple if you can.
★ Will the sketches be posted publicly? The sketches will most likely be posted publicly, so keep that in mind when making your request.
New York has rank choice voting? Neat! I wish we had that in Texas, but probably won't have any candidates running on that, and also as long as the Republicans remain in power it'll never happen.

Unfortunately it's only in a subset of elections - it would be nice to see it expand to more general elections, it gets rid of a lot of weird election problems with splitting votes. <3

Ah of course you can't have it in the general election, it would mean the democrats and republicans would have to actually TRY to be better choices. bleh.
