The 2024 election is just weeks away, and nearly everyone at The New York Times is contributing to coverage in at least some small way. Reporters are on the campaign trail with the candidates, sharing insights along the way; data editors are breaking down the results from the latest polls; software engineers are ensuring The Times’s website is ready to handle a surge of traffic on election night.
In an effort to bring clarity and transparency to our journalism, over the next few weeks we will be answering some of your questions about our election coverage.
How are we investigating the candidates’ positions on the issues and the sources of their campaign funding? How does our polling operation work? How do we determine which House and Senate races to focus on? What additional resources are we putting into covering swing states? How will The Times follow vote counts? How will we call races on election night?
We’re sure you’ll come up with even better questions. Use the form below to ask about anything you’d like to know. Editors and reporters from teams across the newsroom — including Politics, Elections Analytics and Washington — will address as many questions as they can in the weeks leading up to the election.
We will read all of the questions and answer a handful that represent the topics we’re asked about the most. We will not publish any part of your submission without contacting you and hearing back, nor will we share your contact information outside our newsroom. We will accept submissions over the next few days.
