At long last, Election Day is nearly here, folks.

State College and Penn State voters will cast their votes in Tuesday’s election. Besides the United States’ next Commander in Chief, several contested positions appear on the ballot, including state and national representatives.

Here’s a full rundown of everything you’ll need to know to clarify the voting process and fulfill your civic duty.
