As we prepare for the 2020 elections, Shondaland has been exploring the politics and policies that will affect our future. We’ve talked to a number of experts, leaders, and thinkers to write about the issues that will be (or should be) on the ballot this November. It's no secret we live in divisive times, but we’re most interested in how we move forward as a country and discovering the best ideas that will define our collective future.

We've promoted the importance of voting all year — and now it's time for you get your own voting plan in order. With the presidential election fast approaching on November 3, 2020, be sure to check your voter registration here, courtesy of When We All Vote, with whom Shondaland has partnered to increase voter participation during this crucial election year. Figure out what time you’re going to your polling place, how you’re getting there, and where your polling place is, or get up to speed on voting by mail. This is one of the most important elections of our lifetime, so make your voice count.

And, in the meantime, for any and all questions you have about the state of voting on 2020, check out Shondaland's slate of voting content, which will be updating right up to election day. Stay motivated, stay informed, and, most importantly, be ready to vote on November 3rd.
