Yeah, you’re sick of this election. Us too. But as the saying now goes: "Don't boo. Vote."
It’s time to let your voice be heard, and we’ve got all the help you need. Check out our Election 2016 Guide for apps and services that will help you stay informed, express your views, and, of course, be confident in your decision at the ballot box.
Remember: If you vote, you get a sticker. (Jump to the full guide.)
While you probably have your mind made up about your presidential candidate *cough*, you might be undecided about the Congressional candidates. Use 4US to compare your voting habits to those of your representatives, and see customized results based on the issues you care about.
Ideally, you should already know what your ballot will look like before you step into the voting booth. Make sure you know who’s running in your district with BallotReady. Enter your address, and it’ll show what candidates for various elected positions you can expect to see on your ballot on November 8th.
We don’t have to tell you that there’s a lot of money in politics. Unfortunately, it's not all good money: Shine a light on who’s greasing palms with Greenhouse, a Chrome extension that shows campaign donations (broken down by amount and industry) for politicians whenever you come across their names online.
Are you good to go? Use HeadCount’s Voter Info tool to see your state’s deadlines, voter ID rules, early voting info, and more. Check your polling place location or request an absentee ballot. Don’t leave anything up to chance this election year.
When you see your elected officials on CSPAN (because you watch it every day, right?), don’t forget that they’re representing you. Make sure they hear your voice with Democracy.io, a site that makes it easy to get in touch with members of Congress: Enter your address, choose your reps, and let them have it.
