With early voting underway in many states, NPR explores an extraordinary election season coinciding with the global pandemic. Hosts Scott Detrow and Juana Summers report on how to navigate unprecedented challenges to casting a ballot this year. We’ll also hear about long-existing impediments to voting and how they’ve been exacerbated this year. And they will help listeners prepare for November 3, with some tips on avoiding misinformation as the votes are counted. Join us for "Voting in America," an hour-long special report from NPR News this Sunday, October 11 at 7 p.m. 

WRVO has put together a 2020 Voting Guide to help you navigate your options when it comes to voting. You’ll find information on registration deadlines, how and where to vote in person, whether on Election Day or during New York’s early voting period and how to vote by absentee ballot if you wish.
