KSAT 12 is working on a story on first-time voters & would like to have you shape this story. (KSAT 12)

With Election Day on Nov. 8 right around the corner, the KSAT team is ramping up coverage around elections to keep you informed.

One story we’re interested in covering that can be told every election season but is unique each time is the story of first-time voters. The action of participating in the democratic process is the same but the experiences or motivations may vary from person to person.
