This year, voting resources are needed more than any other election cycle. WKSU is working with local organizations and media partners to provide clarity on how to vote in November with an initiative called Election Protection.
For this project, WKSU’s team of reporters and staff will report on how to vote, policy issues that affect voting and community resources available about the voting process. Future stories will also highlight absentee voting, poll worker recruitment, the student vote and more.
In addition, every Monday leading up to the election, reporter Kabir Bhatia will share the answers to questions from listeners about voting. The form to submit questions can be found on the Election Protection webpage at wksu.org/vote, along with all Election Protection resources.
Election resources are also available on the station’s social media platforms: Twitter, @WKSU, Instagram, @WKSU897 and Facebook, facebook.com/wksu.fm.
The project will extend beyond Nov. 3, to cover post-election news about voter access, policy and other topics that arise from the election process.
