The pinned thread at the top will be my grand collection and linkography for election information (but still updated frequently, so check back there often). I’ll continue with my “countdown” threads every day, which will highlight events and information that is imminent or urgent.

Please let me know if there are any broken links, or any incorrect or incomplete information (both here as well as my pinned thread), and I will make the necessary corrections.

Note – if you do anything by mail, be sure to mail things in WELL IN ADVANCE. I personally would recommend at least two weeks (10 business days), especially for submitting absentee ballots. Remember, DeJoy might be gone, but his postal system is still in place. See this thread here as a cautionary tale:

(Especially true for the General Election) URGE EVERYONE YOU KNOW to take advantage of early voting, to avoid very long lines. Or if you absolutely must wait until Election Day to vote, to vote as early in the day as you can. And to learn ahead of time your polling location. We all saw what happened in Dallas during the primaries!
