A Comprehensive Guide on 'How to Vote in Every State'

Voting in the U.S. can be daunting, especially for first-timers. Each state has its own set of rules, and things can get confusing—especially if you’re a student from out of state or if you lack an official form of photo identification. As CityLab’s Brentin Mock reported earlier this year, voter-ID restrictions enacted across several states unfairly target minority voters, many of whom don’t have or can’t obtain the necessary documents to get a valid ID.

But that’s not all that can make voting a challenge. Just ask Hank Green, half of the popular YouTube duo the Vlogbrothers, whose educational videos on everything from history to science to politics have garnered millions of fans. For their latest project, Hank Green, his brother John Green, and fellow YouTuber Taylor Peters combed through the voting rules of all 50 states (with help from their U.S. viewers) to create a comprehensive YouTube guide on “How to Vote in Every State.” (Peters currently works for Hillary Clinton’s campaign, but Hank Green says the project is strictly informational.)
