CINCINNATI — As part of WCPO 9's effort to bring you the most updated information on voting issues and problems, we partnered with ProPublica's Electionland, a collaborative project that aims to document polling problems in conjunction with local and national media partners.

  • SMS: Text the word VOTE, VOTA (for Spanish) or 投票 (for Chinese) to 81380 (standard text message rates apply).
  • WhatsApp: Send the word VOTE, VOTA (for Spanish) or 投票 (for Chinese) to 1-850-909-8683.
