The Cover Story | Here's Everything You Need to Know About Voting | | | By Edward Felsenthal | Editor in Chief and CEO of TIME | Few events will shape the world to come more than the result of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. As Biden leads national polls and Americans cast their votes, our new issue includes a special report on the closing days of the 2020 campaign. "On Nov. 3 (or, hopefully, soon after), we will finally get an answer to the question of what these past four discombobulating years have meant," writes TIME's national political correspondent Molly Ball. "It is a decision not about what policy proposals to pursue but about what reality we collectively decide to inhabit." To mark this historic moment, arguably as consequential a decision as any of us has ever made at the ballot box, we have for the first time in our nearly 100-year history replaced our logo on the cover of our U.S. edition with the imperative for all of us to exercise the right to vote. To help, we've provided readers with a guide on how to vote safely during this extraordinary year. The artwork on the cover is by Shepard Fairey, whose work includes two prior TIME covers. "Even though the subject in the portrait knows there are additional challenges to democracy during a pandemic," Fairey says of the image, the person is determined to use their "voice and power by voting." Elsewhere in the report, Justin Worland looks at efforts to suppress the Black vote while Vera Bergengruen investigates how Republicans are selling the myth of rampant voter fraud. We stand at a rare moment, one that will separate history into before and after for generations. It is the kind of moment in which readers across the country and around the world have always turned to TIME. We thank you for doing so now. | Read the Story » | Share the cover story | | | |
