Hello everyone! It is officially 50 days out from the November 3 presidential election (can you believe it?) so I thought I’d tweet out a full thread will all my guides on how to vote that I’ve put together with the amazing @GraphicsInsider team over the past couple of months 1/

First up, here’s a chart of voter registration deadlines in every state for each registration method, in-person, mail, and online. The deadline to register is coming up in just 3 weeks from today in AK, AR, AZ, FL, GA, IN, KY, MS, OH, SC, TN, and TX! 2/ businessinsider.com/voter-registra…

Here’s a guide on what early voting is & a chart breaking down when early voting begins and ends in each state (in some states this varies by county, so double check dates and hours w/ your local election office) 3/ businessinsider.com/how-to-vote-ea…

Here’s a map breaking down the rules for voting by mail in every state + DC. This year, voters in 44 states and DC will either have a ballot automatically sent to them or can vote by mail without an excuse beyond fear of contracting COVID-19 4/ businessinsider.com/states-where-y…

Here’s a chart for the deadlines to request and return a mail ballot in every state w/ every available method — regardless of your state’s deadline, request your ballot ASAP if you haven’t done so already and return it well before the deadline 5/ businessinsider.com/deadlines-for-…

And here’s a chart with the approximate dates that states begin sending out mail ballots to domestic voters who have requested them. These dates are the most subject to change/variation by county and are a rough guide 6/ businessinsider.com/when-will-i-ge…

This year, 34 states will require voters to show ID when they go to vote in-person at the polls. This map breaks down the rules in every state and what type of ID (photo or non-photo) you’ll need to bring to vote 7/ businessinsider.com/voter-identifi…

Since 2016, states have moved to re-enfranchise hundreds of thousands of returning citizens w/ felony convictions, but many still restrict people on probation/ parole from voting. Here’s a map showing the rules around felony voting rights in each state: 8/ businessinsider.com/where-american…

And last but not least, here’s a chart showing when polling places open and close in every state on Election Day itself (this also varies by county in some states, all times are local) 9/ businessinsider.com/what-time-do-v…
