Today we’re introducing our Voter Guide to help you get more information about candidates and their stances on the issues.

• How to use it: Click here to visit the Voter Guide and use the dropdown menu to choose a race. Information submitted to us from all candidates will display. We’ve indicated if a candidate hasn’t yet submitted their responses.

• What you’ll get: Answers to questions about why they want the office, why they believe they’re the best choice, their priorities if elected and more.

• How to vote: Early voting starts today, and officials are reminding voters to be prepared to follow the rules. There have been changes to voter ID laws since the last presidential election, as well as controversial changes this year to rules surrounding use of drop boxes to return absentee ballots. Here’s what you need to know.
