Millions of Americans who normally vote in person on election day will turn to early voting or mail-in ballots this fall but that only works if you understand your state's election rules, deadlines and how to ensure your vote is counted.
Driving the news: Axios is launching an interactive resource, built on research by RepresentUs, a nonpartisan election reform group, to help voters across the country to get the information they need.
"This election year, voters need to take more time and effort to navigate the challenges of a pandemic," U.S. Elections Assistance Commissioner Donald Palmer tells Axios.
It will be critical for voters to have updated information on their options "to make sure that this election is a true reflection of the will of the people," said Matt Strabone, senior counsel for RepresentUs.

Links in the article on where to verify registration and register for mail in votes. Early voting is an option in many states. Polling places have changed this year because of the pandemic and staffing shortages so always check.
Of course, it's easier to vote in blue states for some reason...
