Even though the midterms don't directly affect the presidency, there's still a huge amount at stake, with outcomes affecting control of Congress as well as issues like abortion rights. It's why Big Tech platforms genuinely stepping up to tackle election misinformation — as in, actually tackling it — really matters.

So how do you find out where to go to vote, and view a sample ballot?

Let's break it down.

What is my sample ballot?

OK, so you know where you're going to vote, but what about who you're going to vote for?

Well, the good news is all that information is pretty much in the same place. To see your sample ballot, just click "Ballot Info" in the same window — this will take you to a new page showing a list of the different positions you can vote for, the candidates running for those positions, and the party they represent.

Now, all that's left to do is for you to turn up and vote. Voter turnout in the 2018 midterm elections was higher than ever, but still only 47.5 percent of the voting-age population turned up — less than half. This Election Day, show up and be counted.
