Election Day is just around the corner, Tuesday, Nov. 5, and we’ve done the Googling so you don’t have to. We’ve curated need-to-know information to get you ready to head to the polls.
Are you registered?
Before you vote, make sure you’re eligible + registered to vote. Due to Hurricane Helene, the deadline to register was extended to 5 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 14. If registering online, the deadline is 11:59 p.m.
For context, the deadline to register to vote in person + update your address is 30 days before Election Day.
Who’s on the ballot?
Determine your district with these interactive maps + resources, then use your districts to identify your candidates.
You can also identify your voting district by checking your voter registration status or sample ballot.
