GENERAL ELECTION DATE: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 3RD, 2026

This is a guide for everything you need to know about voting in the U.S. in the next major election - the 2026 midterm. I will be updating as needed - you may need to go to this actual post since I am adding things constantly and once it is reblogged by someone it doesn’t update automatically in the reblogs when I add something, or you can click here for the most recent version of this post! If you have a question about voting, registration, or anything else please send me an ask or message. State specific deadlines and info listed under the cut! Even if you have a super unique situation, I will absolutely research it for you! (You can also view this as a google doc!)
