The 2022 Midterm elections season has begun with Americans across the country selecting their representatives in federal, state, and local government. In the 2022 Midterms, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate will be decided by voters. If you don’t know where to begin, navigate to the government website USA.gov to connect directly with your state or local election office.
Today, we are announcing an AMA® series titled “The 2022 Midterms On Reddit” to connect redditors with quality voter information ahead of the 2022 U.S midterms. In the coming months, communities around Reddit will host (or, in some cases, continue to host) AMAs with experts to improve our shared understanding of voting processes, deadlines, and recent voting legislation in different states.
This year, we are excited to partner with organizations such as VoteRiders, the League of Women Voters, National Voter Registration Day, Vote Early Day, and a range of other civic participation experts to improve voter education before Election Day November 8th.
Participants confirmed at the time of writing (with more to be added) include:

Vote Riders
VoteRiders’ mission is to ensure that no eligible voter is prevented from casting a ballot that counts due to voter ID laws, either directly from lack of acceptable ID or indirectly because of voter confusion. VoteRiders educates voters and assists citizens to secure their voter ID.
