Whether it’s discovering all the ways you can vote, learning where your polling place is or finding out the candidates’ stances on the issues you care about, you can use AARP as your guide


to the 2020 election. AARP has produced a series of videos called _Ask the Candidates,_ which feature Democratic presidential hopefuls speaking on important issues such as the high cost of


prescription drugs and the need to strengthen Medicare and Social Security. As the campaigns for president, Congress, governorships and local offices unfold, AARP will provide updates on


where the candidates stand, where you can go to find more information on their backgrounds and their positions, and how you can find town halls and other forums where you can question the


candidates. We’ll be monitoring — in some cases sponsoring — debates among candidates at all levels and seeking volunteers to help get the word out on what races and ballot initiatives are


important in your community. Voters can look for information in the _Bulletin,_ online, and on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. AARP will poll voters over age 50 so that


the candidates will be clear on where older Americans stand on the major issues. What AARP will not be doing: endorsing or contributing to candidates. We’ll give you the information you need


to make up your mind.
