It's important to understand the issues and the candidates' positions on the issues before you vote. It's also important to know when and how to register to vote (if you aren't already) and when and how to vote. This guide will give you links to help you find that information.
Here are some unbiased sources that can help you find out more about candidates at all levels (not just for the presidential race) and their positions. They can also help you filter out truth from lies and evaluate bias in reporting. The descriptions of the sites are taken directly from each site's "About" page.
If you are not already registered, you can register to vote in-person during early voting or on election day. Go to an early voting center in the county where you live during early voting, or go to an election day voting center in the county where you live and bring a document that proves where you live. This document can be your MVA-issued license, ID card, or change of address card, your paycheck, bank statement, utility bill, or other government document with your name and new address.
