Get ready to vote: Here's how to figure out who will be on your ballot
If you're not one of the more than 22 million Americans who voted early, you have some big decisions to make.
And while you might be tired of hearing about who's at the top of the ballot, you may not know who else is vying for your vote in local elections.
I'll admit I didn't, so I started Googling. I tried out a few different websites that allow you to see what candidates will be on your ballot, and thought Rock the Vote's site was the most comprehensive and easy to understand.
Under "What's on my ballot?" you put the address in where you are registered to vote (you have to provide an email address but you can uncheck the "contact me" box), and the site spits out what choices you have to make.
For the national presidential and congressional races, the site provides short bios of the candidates, and gives you links to their campaign pages and social media accounts. If you create a profile, you can even save which candidates you want to vote for and send them to yourself so you have a reference for Election Day.
