The political talking heads are already debating the midterm elections. *RedEye* skips the shouting and gives you a quick primer on the Nov. 3 ballot—and how to vote.

- **Mobile election info:** Want election info on the go? There's [an app for that](https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/mobilelanding.aspx?ref=redeyebr.com).
- **Register to vote**: Not registered? Need to update your registration? You can [do it online](https://www.sos.la.gov/elections-voting/online-voter-registration?ref=redeyebr.com) through Oct. 13\.

**How to vote:**

**By mail:** Request your ballot by Oct. 30 and return it by Nov. 2\. The Power Coalition [walks you through it](https://powercoalition.org/absentee-ballot-application/?ref=redeyebr.com). 

**Early:** If you’d prefer to avoid the joy of voting on Election Day, early voting runs Oct. 20–27 at these locations:

- Baton Rouge City Hall, 222 St. Louis St., Room 604
- Motor Vehicle Building, 2250 Main St., Baker
- Fire Station, 11010 Coursey Blvd.
- Louisiana State Archives Building, 3851 Essen Lane
- Central Branch Library, 11260 Joor Road

**What’s on the ballot?**

- U.S. Senate—all Louisiana voters
- U.S. House of Representatives
- Ten constitutional amendments
- Local judges races
- Local school board elections
- Justice of the Peace elections

The Public Affairs Research Council plans to publish its amendment guide by mid-October. Keep an eye [out for it here](https://parlouisiana.org/resources/guide-to-the-constitutional-amendments/?ref=redeyebr.com).

One of the amendments, in case an Iranian national seeks to take your property, would prohibit the expropriation of property by a foreign adversary or an agent of a foreign adversary. Select one: yes or no.

You can look up your ballot through the [Louisiana Voter Portal](https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/Home/VoterLogin?ref=redeyebr.com), though the results may be confusing—and may not tell you everything you want to know.
