Plan Your Vote
NBC

With Election Day just weeks away, planning how you will vote is an important step in making sure your vote counts.

Each state has different rules and the electoral landscape has changed significantly since 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic upended the world.

So far, 32 states have implemented major rule changes. For example, you need identification to vote on Election Day in 33 states. In 12 states, you need a notary or a witness to vote by mail. Additionally, eight states have excluded COVID-19 as a reason to vote by mail.

With so many variables to consider, the 2022 Plan Your Vote tool by NBC News is here to help.

The purpose of Plan Your Vote is to help voters plan their vote in time for their ballots to count by presenting useful fact-based information. The tool allows people to review their states' voting rules, such as if there is early voting, voting by mail and identification requirements.

Check out the tool by visiting NBCNews.com/PlanYourVote.

Congressmember Karen Bass and Rick Caruso will be here at NBC4 and Telemundo 52 on Tuesday night fielding questions at their final live debate ahead of the election. NBC4 moderators Conan Nolan and Colleen Williams discuss the issues on the NBC4 News at 5pm on Monday, October 10, 2022.
The dominoes that fell after the 1958 Midterms - from issues of equality to programs for the less fortunate - can still be felt today. It’s a reminder of how important congressional elections are to the laws and policies we live by.
