Early election coverage

My newspaper will be covering the June elections. We plan to update the amount of money each candidate has raised, the names of people who've filed their intent to run, and information about measures on the June ballot that will affect the city I cover.

This will be my first year reporting on elections. Does anyone have tips for me?

What kinds of things will you be covering for the June elections? What's the most frustrating thing about covering politics? The most fun?

If you don't normally cover politics, will you be integrating the elections into your regular beat?

I'll be updating as I learn, and as the November elections get closer! I hope you all are registered to vote!
