KOTO Election Coverage

The KOTO News team is covering elections!

We seek to provide listeners and the electorate with comprehensive, timely, and easily accessible information on candidates and the issues up for a vote. Our mission is to prioritize the questions and needs of the public, and be a point of contact between candidates, issues, and our entire community.

Our coverage will focus on demystifying the process, so voters can approach the ballot informed, candidates can address concerns and needs, and the entire community can be part of the conversation. We will ensure listeners have access to election materials (in English and Spanish) both through broadcast and on our website.
