Although we have a global readership, we want to take a moment to encourage our fellow U.S. citizens to get out and vote before polls close tomorrow night. Find resources to help you cast your ballot in the midterm elections if you haven’t done so yet…

The 2026 midterm elections have arrived, marking another pivotal moment here in the United States. It’s been an extraordinarily trying two years for many in this country (and abroad), and the midterms offer an opportunity to help shape our shared future at home and on the global stage. We know our readers hold varied perspectives on the issues at stake and the people we want to represent us, but we can hopefully agree on unifying principles, most notably the value of our democracy and the importance of exercising our right to vote.

It’s not too late to do your part. The best option this late in the game is to vote in person at your assigned polling location tomorrow, November 3rd, 2026. If you prefer to vote absentee and have already received your ballot, you can likely still deliver it to your polling station or local board of elections before the polls close tomorrow evening, but state laws vary. Please check your state’s board of elections website for details. Or, better yet, just vote in person. You can find your local polling place here.

If you aren’t registered to vote, it may not be too late. More than 20 states and Washington, D.C. allow for same-day registration, so eligible voters can register and cast a ballot at the same time. Again, please check your state’s board of elections website for details, including what, if any, documentation is required, as laws vary by state.

If you are unsure of your precinct, call your local board of elections or go to Vote.gov and follow the links to check your registration status and precinct information.
