We’re trying to make it a little easier for you to stay up-to-speed this election season. This is a hub for Illinois voters to study up on the issues and candidates before voting on (or before) Nov. 4.

On election night, we’re hosting a live watch party in Chicago with hosts Niala Boodhoo and Melba Lara. If you can’t make it to the party, join us that night @WBEZPolitics to get the latest updates.

Here’s who we’ll have covering races on election night:

• Tony Arnold will cover Democratic incumbent Illinois Governor Pat Quinn.
• Lauren Chooljian will cover Republican gubernatorial challenger Bruce Rauner.
• Michael Puente will cover Democratic incumbent Illinois Senator Dick Durbin.
• Yolanda Perdomo will cover Republican Senate challenger Jim Oberweis.
• Katie O’Brien will cover the 10th congressional district race between Democratic incumbent Brad Schneider and Republican challenger Bob Dold.
