| It's Election Day Eve, OnPolitics readers! It's Sarah Day and Amy, with a last-minute voter guide for those who have yet to cast their ballots in the 2022 midterm elections. |
| Midterm elections basics: The 2022 midterm elections will determine who will control Congress, with Senate and House seats on the ballot. |
| Governors races are also on the ballot. The gubernatorial races are important even beyond state borders, as governors are increasingly shaping national policy. |
| Looking for answers on how to vote or the top issues in the midterm elections for 2022? This guide is for you. Already voted? 🖅 Forward it to a friend who is voting on Election Day! |
How to vote on Election Day |
| Am I registered to vote? Same-day voter registration options and registration deadlines vary by state. |
| Know your rights: Search for your state in this voting rights guide, which includes details such as which states require an ID card. |
| Need to vote during work hours? Here is a list of which states have rules around giving employees time off to vote. |
| Vote in time: See what time polls close in my state. |
Know the issues |
| Inflation and the economy: Voters said in July and October that inflation and the economy are the most important issues. Immigration reform, the soaring costs of health care, and a lack of affordable housing are other economic factors voters are considering as they contemplate who to vote for – if they even decide to cast their ballot, reporter Sarah Elbeshbishi reports. |
| Abortion: Voters across the nation this year are being asked to weigh in on a record number of ballot initiatives on abortion rights, reporter Bill Keveney writes. |
| Voters will see abortion-related ballot measures in five states: California, Michigan, Vermont, Montana and Kentucky. |
| Critical race theory, trans rights, LGBTQ issues: The economy may be the issue weighing most heavily on voters' minds heading into the Nov. 8 midterm elections, but the culture wars are inciting voter angst, too, reporter Michael Collins writes. |
| Topics such as abortion, critical race theory and LGBTQ rights are shaping political contests from local school board races to campaigns for governor, state legislature and Congress. |
| Where did the money go? By the time the election is over, candidates' and their supporters' spending could top $9.3 billion, according to nonpartisan watchdog group OpenSecrets, reporter Erin Mansfield writes. See who contributed and who benefits. |

| Look to 2024 next: While the president's race isn't on the ballot in 2022, the midterm elections previews the likely candidates for the 2024 presidential race, reporter David Jackson writes. |
Real quick: stories you'll want to read |
| • | What happens if Republicans take Congress? The degree to which Republicans can stall Biden's agenda depends on their margins of victory after Tuesday's elections. Here's what could happen if the GOP wrests back at least some control of Washington. | | • | Why these 27 secretary of state races matter: Secretary of state candidates who have often been overlooked by voters in past elections have an outsized presence in these midterm elections. At least 13 of these races will include a 2020 election denier as a choice. | | • | Disinformation could keep midterm voters at home: Disinformation is spreading rapidly through America, disseminating intentional lies disguised as truth. Sometimes the lies are designed to prevent people from voting by confusing them on how, when and where to vote. Sometimes the lies play on fears to try to make them vote a certain way. | | • | Past presidents pull out all the stops on campaign trail: While President Joe Biden and predecessor Barack Obama fired up Democrats in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, former President Donald Trump exhorted Republicans in Latrobe to vote – mostly on behalf of candidates in a key U.S. Senate race, but also with eyes on the 2024 presidential race that could re-match Biden and Trump. | | • | Here's why election officials are concerned about claims of a hacked election: Despite an unprecedented U.S. focus on preventing hackers from targeting the midterm elections Tuesday, there are still concerns that malicious cyber operatives could disrupt or influence the vote. | |
| Why do midterms even matter? The midterms are elections that take place halfway through a president's four-year term. Here's why these elections are so crucial. |
