The Dayton Daily News considers it vital for our work to help our readers cut through the noise around this election and know clearly where things stand.

In the last two months, amid the coronavirus pandemic, we have:

— shared with readers our commitment to cover local races and issues fairly,

— presented stories about each contested race and tax issue in the region;

— created an Election 2020 guide to give one-stop access to our coverage; and

— hosted a series of Facebook Live events focusing on voting rights or featuring the candidates in key races. You can watch them at the links below.

Community Conversations: How to make your vote count (10/6)

Virtual Voter Forum - Montgomery County Commissioners (10/2)

Virtual Voter Forum - Naraj Antani and Mark Fogel (10/1)

Virtual Voter Forum with candidates for Ohio’s 10th Senate District (10/19)

The Dayton Daily News also will host online discussions titled “Election 2020: Ask the Experts” at noon Monday, Nov. 2, and noon Wednesday Nov. 4, with an expert bipartisan panel. The discussions will stream live on our Facebook page.

We also reaffirm now our commitment that readers will be able to rely on us in digital on election night and beyond as results become clear.

Voting is one of the most important rights — and responsibilities — for citizens of our country. We commit to ongoing efforts to monitor a safe and accurate voting experience locally.
