With COVID-19 cases spiking, the President of the United States tweeting false information about voting, and tens of millions of us casting ballots by mail for the first time, it’s already turning out to be a wild and woolly election season. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. TIME staff has assembled a list of some of your most pressing questions about how to vote in-person and by mail, how to navigate the process amidst a pandemic, and what to do if the unexpected happens in this ever-so-unexpected year. Everything you need to know about voting in the 2020 election: Is it better to vote early, or on Election Day? Can I vote if my voter registration is “inactive”? What should I do if someone tries to stop me from voting? Should I use a dropbox instead of mailing my ballot? How do I know if my mail ballot arrived and was counted? Will I be notified if my mail-in ballot is rejected?
