On Tuesday, American voters will have the chance to either stop or accelerate President Donald Trump’s agenda as they vote in the midterm elections.

The 2018 midterms are incredibly high-stakes—the outcome of these elections will decide the future of the United States from immigration reform to health care and criminal justice to reproductive rights. The election results will also determine whether or not the House of Representatives and Senate will remain under the control of Republicans or sway back into Democratic majorities. The aftermath of the midterm elections, however, depends a lot on voter turnout on November 6.

Here is everything you need to know about voting on election day.

How can I cast my vote?

Your polling station is assigned by the residential address you listed in your voter registration form. You can find the location of your polling address here. However, there are administrative errors sometimes when it comes to either your assigned polling station or information listed on voter rolls. If this is the case for you, an elected official is required to offer you to a provisional ballot.

When do polls open and close?

You can find this information at your state’s election office website. If you click the link and select your state, you can find out the polling hours of operations. Typically, like in New York, polls open around 6am and close around 9pm.
