Here are some options for getting to the polls. Do you know of an organization offering rides that we haven't listed? Email us at managing.editor@theplainsman.com.
- Uber: There will be a "Get to the Polls" button on the Uber app on Nov. 6. Anyone in the states can use the app to find their polling place and book a ride. Make sure your app is updated to the latest version. For more information, click here.
