Readers are invited to join Your Vote, USA TODAY’s elections texting group, which provides the latest elections news, insights, and a platform to ask questions directly in their messages app. The texts are written and sent by real humans, including host Sam Woodward and other reporters covering breaking elections news. Participants receive news updates as events unfold, behind-the-scenes content, and the opportunity to ask election-related questions.
Joining Your Vote is free and messages are only visible to the USA TODAY texting team. Members can expect updates on election news, insights from events like party conventions and upcoming presidential debates, as well as live updates and insights on Election Day in November. During the Democratic National Convention, the texting group will be run by the USA TODAY team in Chicago, offering a close look at convention activities and important news coverage.
Participants can ask questions about the delegate voting process, what politicians do between sessions, and more. To sign up, text 301-888-6791. Sam Woodward, the Minnesota elections reporting fellow for USA TODAY, and Caitlin Petrakovitz, an audience engagement manager for the USA TODAY Network, are part of the team overseeing the Your Vote texting group and are available to provide answers and updates.
