What's inspiring your vote in the 2026 midterm elections?

Tell us in a short, selfie-style video.

Maybe it’s an issue affecting your family, something happening in your community, an experience you’ve had, or simply what you hope will be different in the future.

You don’t have to tell us who you’re voting for—we’re interested in what’s motivating people in our communities to participate.

Your story could help inspire someone else to make their voice heard, too. We may share selected videos on our local newsrooms' social media accounts, websites, and in our newsletters.

Plus, we're hosting a giveaway! Eligible participants who submit a video between October 19-23, 2026 will be entered for a chance to win a $25 Visa® eGift Card, subject to the official rules.

Submission deadline: Friday, October 23, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

What’s your first and last name?

What’s your email address?

We’ll use this to contact you about your submission and, if applicable, the giveaway.

What city and state do you call home?

Which newsroom sent you here?

If we share your video, can we credit you by your first name and state?

Yes

Do you agree to the official giveaway rules?

Yes, I confirm that I am at least 18 years old, have read and agree to the Official Sweepstakes Rules, and understand that no purchase, voting, or proof of voting is required to enter or win.

Do you give COURIER and its local newsrooms permission to use your submission?

Yes, I confirm that this video is my original content and grant COURIER Newsroom permission to edit, publish, repost, and share it across its websites, newsletters, social media accounts, and related promotional materials without additional compensation.
