  • More than 228,000 people voted using mail-in ballots through Thursday, with close to 81% identifying as Democrats; voters can cast ballots at any polling location in their home counties.
  • Voters can access sample ballots and use the state's online locator to find polling sites, with the voter guide on the elections page offering race information, an election calendar and district locator.
  • November's general elections will determine congressional control for the next two years, with competitive Democratic primary races including a dozen candidates in an overwhelmingly Democratic district and four Democrats fighting for nomination elsewhere.
