One of my favorite parts of election season is visiting polling places and seeing democracy in action. Whether it’s the candidates greeting voters, volunteers holding signs, election workers keeping everything running smoothly, or neighbors showing up to make their voices heard, there’s always a lot of energy around early voting.

Early voting is happening now through June 18, and Election Day is June 23. If you haven’t voted yet, now is the time to make your plan. Polls are open from 7 AM to 8 PM during early voting.

Still researching the candidates? VoteMoCo.com combines candidate surveys, endorsements, articles, and other resources into one tool that helps you compare candidates based on the issues you care about most.

You can also hear directly from the candidates themselves through our Candidate Introduction Series:

However you choose to vote, make a plan, do your research, and make your voice heard.
