Alaska Public Media is participating in Electionland, ProPublica’s project covering access to the ballot and problems that prevent people from exercising their right to vote during the 2016 election.

And we need your help!

After casting your ballot, let us know what your experience was like. How long did you wait? Was the process routine or different this year?

You can tell us about any issues at your polling place or voting precinct in a few different ways.

Text the words “Alaska Public” or “Electionland” to 69866 to participate by text message, and get a reminder on Election Day.

On social media, you can use #Electionland in Tweets and Facebook posts to help flag any potential problems. That helps us spot claims and get to work verifying them.

You can find more information about ProPublica’s national Electionland project here.
