Step 4: Research Local Issues

From gun control to marijuana legalization, all the controversial issues you hear about in the news are about to be in your hands. Understanding the issues you’ll be voting on is imperative to having an educated vote. MO offers a service that helps you find localized issues based on your address. You can gain access to what your district’s issues are by entering your address, and it will provide resources based on your voting district. Standard ballot initiatives will include voting for your favored candidate of a political party to go to the national election in 2020. 

The March 10 election will be for designating your Presidential preference, however, less than a month later, on April 7, another election will be held. This is the General Municipal Election and will feature more localized issues. The same information for understanding what will be on the ballot will become available through the ballot services linked above.
