What every voter should know
- The day. Election Day was . Congress was on the ballot: the people I score.
- The rules stop at the state line. Each state sets its own deadline to register, its own days for early voting, its own rules for voting by mail and its own answer on ID.
- Your state's election office has the last word. Every date here links to the page of that office I read it on, with the day I read it. Where a page gives no date, it sends you to the state's own page instead. I never fill a gap.
- Only citizens vote. A green card or a visa does not let you vote in a federal election. What your papers do allow.
- I tell you how, never who. Where each member of Congress stands on Iran is on the scorecard.

How to vote
A deadline I got wrong, a rule that tripped you up, or a question about your state. I never say who to vote for. Readers' words, not mine.
