The 2020 election cycle marks more than a century since we鈥檝e had to cast a ballot amid a global pandemic.
So far, based on what we know from the August primary, social distancing has kept many voters away from polling precincts. Instead, thousands are opting to vote by mail from the safety of their homes.

The number of mail-in-ballots requested in Florida is much higher than usual. More than 650,000 people in South Florida used vote-by-mail ballots in August. Ahead of the November election, nearly four million Floridians have already asked for a vote-by-mail ballot. Meanwhile, candidates and campaign volunteers alike are figuring out more creative ways to educate voters about the issues and their policy proposals.
With that in mind, we came together to talk about three things: what you鈥檒l see on your ballot (Hint: there are a lot more races than the presidential contest), how to vote by mail, and what mis- and disinformation campaigns look like.
We discussed these topics in-depth on Instagram Live. If you missed them live you can find them here:
